Further four men released in League of Ireland match-fixing investigation

A further four men arrested in connection with alleged match-fixing in the League of Ireland, have been released from garda custody.

The four were released overnight. One of the ten men arrested in a series of raids yesterday morning remains in garda custody. The other nine have now been released without charge.

Ten men, aged from their 20s to 60s - including League of Ireland players and officials - were arrested in a series of raids yesterday morning in Dublin, Cork and Limerick on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud.

Homes were also searched.

Operation Brookweed, the investigation into alleged match-fixing, is being led by the Anti Bribery and Corruption Unit.

It began three years ago following reports of suspected match-fixing from the FAI and UEFA.
