Match-fixing: Champions League tie played in England 'was fixed'

A Champions League tie played in England is one of 680 matches across the world investigators say was fixed.

European police did not reveal the identity of the match they believe was corrupt in England.

But Europol did say that they had uncovered an organised crime syndicate based in Asia that was co-ordinating the operation.

Some of the bullet points from the article:

At a news conference in The Hague, Netherlands, Europol claimed:


The fixed Champions League tie in England took place in the "last three or four years";
The identity of that match cannot be revealed due to "ongoing judicial proceedings";
Other "corrupt" matches included World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and "several top football matches in European leagues";
In Germany-based matches alone, criminals wagered £13.8m (16m euros) on rigged matches and made £6.9m in profits. Officials fear this is as the "tip of the iceberg";
In total 380 suspicious matches were in Europe and a further 300 in Africa, Asia and south and central America.

The one in England was supposedly in CL qualifying so probably Arsenal.

What a mess. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised.

Wonder if any refs were involved

One game might have been as a betting fix (according to one bolivian coach) :

U20 Argentina vs U20 Bolivia.

The ref gave 12 minutes of extra time before calling the end of the game right after giving a penalty (1-0 Argentina win).:lmao

This game is part of Europol's list
