Another man has been arrested as part of a probe into League of Ireland match-fixing.
The man, aged in his 20s, was arrested for the offence of conspiracy to defraud by specialist garda detectives, and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda station in the south of the country. It brings the total number of arrests to 15 by Operation Brookweed, which is investigating suspected irregular betting patterns on League of Ireland games.
The alleged incidents are said to have taken place during the 2019 season following a referral by the Football Association of Ireland and UEFA. Detective Superintendent Catharina Gunne said: "Match-fixing and corruption is a threat to all sports at all levels and undermines public confidence in the fairness of sport.
