Omer Dahan, a striker for Maccabi Haifa who was loaned last season to Hapoel Ra'anana, said he is the football player arrested in a police investigation into suspected illegal betting and match-fixing.
Last week, police announced that during an inquiry connected to a gang from Migdal HaEmek, they had also detained a footballer belonging to one of Israel's major clubs. Dahan's statement identifies him as that player.
The article does not say whether charges have been filed or provide further details on the investigation. It only ties the arrest to the broader police probe into illegal gambling and alleged manipulation of matches.
