Champions लीगुए Rigging

A trial has begun in Germany of four men accused of fixing 32 professional football matches in Europe, including three UEFA Champions League ties and 12 Europa League fixtures.
The majority of the games involved are in the lower leagues of nine European countries, and do not involve major European domestic competitions.
According to the BBC, up to 300 games in 15 countries are under suspicion and this is likely to be the first of several trials with German police understood to have 250 suspects involved in what is described as the biggest fraud scandal in the history of the sport in Europe.
The four unidentified accused, including one professional footballer, are a part of a group of 15 arrested last year. In police custody since November 2009 they are said to have benefited to the tune of several million euros after bribing match officials and players to throw games.
UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino have called for severe penalties for those found guilty of match-fixing.
"UEFA will be demanding the harshest of sanctions before the competent courts for any individuals, clubs or officials who are implicated in this malpractice, be it under state or sports jurisdiction," UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino said as quoted by CNN.
"I would like to thank the German authorities for their action and for the good collaboration. This case proves that it is possible for a state investigative authority to work closely together with a sports governing body when it comes to corruption or match-fixing."
