Italy’s
football world is reeling from the latest match-fixing scandal, allegedly
involving players from almost all levels of Italy’s professional football
league. So far, 16 people have been arrested for match-fixing, among them
current and former players from the Serie A, Serie B and Serie C as well as
club directors from the lower leagues. Those arrested have been charged for
their roles in rigging games to assure the outcomes of bets. Investigators are
looking into the results of some 30 matches this season. All clubs involved in
this latest ‘calciopoli’ scandal deny any wrongdoing.
