Betting, match-fixing and referee involved: it happened a few days ago

by Mark

Betting, in addition to the three egregious cases we’ve already told you about, a match pops up that involved a referee. Here’s which one we’re talking about

Fight in every way the possibility of match-fixing. Also because very often behind it is organized crime, which makes many millions on top of it. We know very well that the topic is hot, and it touches everyone closely.

In the past few months, the reports that are usually published by those who try to manage it were telling us that soccer was not the first sport involved: hard to get everyone to agree when it comes to match-fixing since careers are also at risk. Tennis on the other hand, since it is a sport where you are alone, is the one that is the most “dangerous” in this aspect. Problems are everywhere, however, and in recent days a match-fixing with the involvement of the referee has reportedly come out. And let’s go and see what match it is and what league.

Betting, here is the match rigged

Revealing it all was Sport Integrity Team consultant Francesco Baranca in a lengthy interview with Agimeg.it. Who first talked about three matches rigged in pre-season friendlies in some Northern and Eastern European leagues. And then he went into detail about one.


“One case also concerns a major Croatian team, Hajduk Split, which has just acquired Ivan Perisic, an internationally renowned player, who suffered blatant and incomprehensible refereeing wrongs in the friendly match against Slask. Obviously the clubs have no responsibility and are the main victims of this system.” In this case we are talking about the referee involved in this system, and obviously there is nothing to blame the clubs that faced each other. But this risk of match fixing obviously is there, and everyone is trying to figure out how to eradicate it. Maybe Baranca himself is right when he says that maybe it would be appropriate not to quote these kinds of matches and these kinds of events.
