Three men have been arrested after gardai carried out "a day of action" today in relation to alleged match-fixing in the League of Ireland.
Two men, aged in their 30's, were arrested in the Dublin region on suspicion of the offence of Conspiracy to Defraud contrary to Common Law and are currently being held at a south Dublin garda station. A third man, also aged in his 30's, was arrested in the Eastern region on suspicion of the same offence.
The Anti-Bribery & Corruption Unit and Garda National Economic Crime Bureau were aided by INTERPOL officers from their Match-Fixing Task Force who travelled from Lyon, France. Today's operation stems from a 2019 investigation into reports of suspected match-fixing received from the FAI and UEFA.
