"Match fixing and corruption is a threat to all sports at all levels and undermines public confidence in the fairness of sport," Detective Superintendent Catharina Gunne, GNECB, said in a statement. "It can allow organised crime to infiltrate sport in order to use it to make illicit gains or launder proceeds of crime."An Garda Síochána is appealing to any person who have any information in relation to match fixing or sports corruption to contact them.
People can make a report in confidence to the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Confidential Reporting line at 1800 40 60 80 or to their local Garda Station.
