Debrecen-Liverpool Now Under Investigation

((HT: youtube))

Europol has been investigating several hundred matches involved in an alleged match-fixing scheme out of Malaysia. And the reach has now gone into teams based in Great Britain- Liverpool to be specific, but they're not being implicated...just observed and linked to a Hungarian squad...

Debrecen confirm their 2009 UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool is a part of the investigation.

UEFA had taken action against goalkeeper Vukasin Poleksic in 2010 for not reporting being approached by game fixers (or something like that) before two matches - Liverpool and Fiorentina.

Here's the analysis from that one highlight in 2009 versus Liverpool...


Debrecen released a statement: "The [UEFA] disciplinary committee's position was that Vukasin Poleksic neglected his obligations when he didn't report in time that, before two international matches of DVSC, unknown persons attempted to persuade him to influence the outcome of the matches.

"The two matches were the away game against Liverpool and the home encounter with Fiorentina.

"Neither DVSC nor the player wish to react further, all the more so as all the information has been released about this affair during the summer of 2010."


More when we know more...
