Five Clubs Named by UEFA in Betting Scandal
UEFA has named and shamed the five clubs they suspect to be involved in the European football betting scandal that shocked the sporting world last week.
German police led an investigation in what they described as the “biggest ever” match fixing scandal to hit football, with more than 200 games thought to have been affected, including UEFA Champions League and Europa League matches.
The clubs said to have been at the centre of the scandal are KF Tirana (Albania), FC Dinaburg (Latvia), KS Vilaznia (Albania), NK IB Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Honved (Hungary).
“UEFAand the national associations are facing a case of organised crime which exceeds the investigative power of sports jurisdiction, a UEFA statement read.
“UEFA will file criminal complaints, together with the relevant national associations, as soon as possible against clubs, officials and/or players in those countries concerned.”
UEFA has also said they believe there may be three referees involved with the scandal, and there could even be a an in-house official somehow connected to it all!
