Ex-Players Arrested in Israeli Women's Soccer Match-Fixing Probe
Israeli police announced Thursday the arrest and investigation of three former soccer players, including the son of a prominent figure in Israeli football, on suspicion of fixing matches in the women's Premier League. The investigation, which has been ongoing for several months by the Lahav 433 anti-corruption unit, reportedly uncovered a systematic and organized betting scheme aimed at influencing game outcomes for financial gain.
The suspects, identified as former male and female players from various leagues, were brought in for questioning. Authorities are examining the scope of the operation, the identities of all involved, the methods used to manipulate games, and the amounts of money exchanged.
This development comes amid separate allegations in Ashdod concerning alleged prohibited blood transfusions for players of Ironi Tiberias, and a denial from a footballer suspected in a different match-fixing case.
