Ten men arrested over alleged match-fixing in League of Ireland

Gardaí have arrested 10 men in connection with alleged match-fixing in the League of Ireland.

Gardaí in the southern and Dublin regions also searched a number of residential properties as part of Operation Brookweed.

The operation stemmed from an investigation carried out by the Anti-Bribery & Corruption Unit in 2019 following reports of suspected match-fixing received from the Football Association of Ireland and Uefa.

The 10 men – aged between their 20s and 60s – are being questioned at various Garda stations in Dublin and the southern region.
