ROME: As many as seven people have been detained over suspected involvement in match-fixing in Italian Serie B side Catania.
According to a Catania police statement, they are accused of committing “fraud in sporting competition.”
The authorities have not released details of the matches on which the investigation is focused.
Prosecutors said the match-fixing allegations centred around five or six games.
Catania police superintendent Marcello Cardona said the “extremely complex investigation” had been prompted by a complaint from club president Antonino Pulvirenti.
