INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin - 2-14 May 2017
In this bi-weekly edition, we follow a case of illegal betting on a match played in Ireland. The betting is believed to have taken place in the Asian markets, confirming a reason that the increase in match-fixing is due to the rise of globalization of sport betting through internet.
A Greek tennis player was banned for life in a case of attempted match-fixing investigated by the Tennis Integrity Unit.
