A major investigation involving Europol and police teams from 13 European countries has uncovered an extensive criminal network involved in widespread football match-fixing. A total of 425 match officials, club officials, players, and serious criminals, from more than 15 countries, are suspected of being involved in attempts to fix more than 380 professional football matches.

The activities formed part of a sophisticated organised crime operation, which generated over €8 million in betting profits and involved over €2 million in corrupt payments to those involved in the matches.

The fight against match-fixing is an important part of the Commission’s efforts to ensure the integrity of sport and fairness of competitions.
Starting in 2011, several initiatives have been taken in this field and there is a strong base for future action in this area. Know more about this here: http://ec.europa.eu/sport/what-we-do/match-fixing_en.htm
