Spanish federation in match-fixing probe
Print Edition
THE Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) launched a formal investigation yesterday over suspicions of match-fixing in third division side Deportivo Eldense’s 12-0 defeat to Barcelona B on Saturday.
“This disciplinary body considers the initiation of disciplinary actions pertinent to discover the nature and scope of the events and, if necessary, the corresponding sanctions if justified,” the RFEF said.
Five members of the club, including coach Filippo di Pierro, two players, another member of the coaching staff and an Italian investor, who recently became Eldense’s major shareholder, have been arrested by police on suspicion of corruption.
Eldense player Cheikh Saad was the first to point the finger at some of his teammates and coach after their record-equalling defeat in Segunda Division B on Saturday. Saad told radio station Cadena Copa that certain players stood to make “huge sums” of money from bets placed on the match.
Club president David Aguilar then reported his suspicions to police and Spanish football authorities.
Di Pierro was appointed coach after an Italian investor took control of the club earlier this season.
