The revelations about his actions continue international illegal betting ring, which also operated in Greece. As “Diki” reveals, the authorities estimate that the participants in the ring in the last two and a half years, during which the investigations are ongoing, had profits of at least 50 million euros.
The investigation by Eurojust and Interpol found large sums following the… money line. It is characteristic that an Albanian who was arrested in Austria, transported cash in suitcases in Greece and delivered them to a Greek member of the ring. The Financial Police arrested the member’s son, took him to his bank safe deposit box, where 300,000 euros were found and confiscated.
The case, in which natural persons are allegedly involved from Super League 1 and Super League 2, up to the Third National, has reached the Areopagus. Sports and football prosecutor Kostas Spyropoulos conducts preliminary examination with the assistance of the director of the Economic Police Dimitris Loukopoulos.
It seems that at least 47 people are involved in the circuit (bookies, PAE presidents, agents, footballers, coaches), who are being investigated for crimes of organized crime, money laundering, betting fraud and match-fixing.
The investigation began three years ago in Austria and was expanded by Eurojust and Interpol in five European countries. For Greece there are legal wiretapping of telephone conversations going back two and a half years! At the same time, evidence was collected from mobile phones and digital media seized from those involved.
