Matchfixing in the Netherlands
On 08, Feb 2013 | In Comment | By: C.J.J. Visser
For some time now matchfixing has been a hot topic. Matchfixing is - in short - the manipulation of sports matches for the benefit of people who gamble on these matches. The fixer is the one who bribes those players so that the result is favourable for the gambler. Think of intentional losses, a goalkeeper deliberately passing a goal, but also giving away a corner or committing a foul that results in a yellow card. Of course it also happens that referees are bribed.
