Five Dutch nationals have been implicated in a massive pan-European investigation into match-fixing in football, Dutch media reported on Monday.
The probe, carried out by the EU policing organisation Europol, has identified 380 matches across the continent which it says were fixed by an Asia-based crime syndicate.
The Dutch football association said it understood five Dutch individuals are involved but ‘it is not clear what form that involvement took’, spokesman Gijs de Jong is quoted as saying.
De Jong was also unable to say if the five were involved in matches involving Dutch clubs. ‘That is not clear. They may well have been involved in games abroad. That is certainly not out of the question,’ he said.
