An active senior league soccer player was arrested by Lahav 433’s Sports Gambling and Bribery Division as part of its investigation into a gang from Migdal Ha’emek, Israel Police said on Monday morning.
The investigation is taking place in full cooperation with Israel’s Football Association.
The player was arrested on suspicion of illegal gambling on large amounts, match-fixing, offenses under Israel’s Prohibition on Money Laundering Law, and tax offenses – all acts inappropriate for an active player to take part in.
According to police, the player did not commit the offenses alone, and further arrests are expected.
This is a developing story.
