Everything points to one big scandal for a betting ring in the field of Greek football is ready to break out, since the case that is being investigated by the Areopagus, after years of research, has reached the final stage. In fact, teams and individuals are allegedly involved not only from Super League 2, but also from Super League 1 up to the Third National Team.
“The case file has been completed and the size of the betting fraud is being investigated with identifications of the seized mobile phones and computers, with the legal interceptions that have been carried out. It applies to Super League 1 and Super League 2, even to the Third National Team“, he said to News Bulletin 247 The Kyriakos Thomaidis.
THE president of Super League 2, Petros Martsoukos, spoke on the country’s first sports station and announced self-purification from the league, in case there are any damning findings. “We have not yet received official information, we are learning from the media for now. We’re waiting for the investigation, the findings, and I think we have quick reflexes to make the best decisions for the league to move forward with clarity. Until the day before yesterday they were only talking about Super League 2, but it seems that there is a problem in all of Greek football. We believe that it will not be about team factors, but about people outside the field“, he emphasized.
“We as a league cannot make decisions before the EPO gives us the conclusion. But beyond that, we want to do our self-purification. The league is scheduled to start on September 24th, so we want all the processes to move quickly so that before the draw even takes place we know which teams will be able to compete in the new league. If justice can’t be done quickly, we should put safeguards in our league so that they are kicked out of the league and any points deducted are returned to the teams that lost them. My concern will be this, so that there is equality in the league and I will propose it to the association“, he added.
“We don’t want there to be any indifferent team in the development of the league, that’s why we also offer financial incentives. We want bonuses, money from betting and TV, to be distributed in such a way that only healthy teams get them and not teams that have an ‘envelope’. These will be my own suggestions, I hope the co-op will vote on these for the good of the teams and our league“, concluded.
