Seven people have been arrested in Italy over suspected match-fixing involving Catania in Serie B, police said on Tuesday.
The seven were accused of "fraud in sporting competition... aimed at
influencing the results and altering the outcome of (Serie B) matches in
which Catania were involved, with the consequent victory for that
team," Catania police said in a statement.
Police did not give any further details of when the manipulation took
place or which matches were involved, but said a news conference would
take place at 11 a.m. (0900 GMT)
Catania, relegated from Serie A the previous season, finished 15th in
Serie B, just three points above the relegation playoff places.
