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 iden y 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 iden y 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 su ious 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.
You meant Juventus
IronMexican, get in here son !
Same thing, that's pretty much the men's NT
What a mess. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised.
Wonder if any refs were involved
how could they not be?
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).
This game is part of Europol's list
i thought i was the only one who bet on u20 soccer
