Moses Swaibu Alleges Match-Fixing in Premier League
News summary

Moses Swaibu, a former footballer, revealed that at least five Premier League players were approached by match-fixers from 2015 to 2019, often outside training grounds or at London casinos. Swaibu, who now educates young players about match-fixing, recounted a personal experience where he was instructed to let in goals during a match, highlighting the intimidation tactics used by fixers, including threats of violence. He did not disclose player names but noted that the information could be inferred from the FA's sanction records. As a significant figure in the fight against match-fixing, Swaibu will share his story in a new BBC podcast titled 'Confessions of a Match Fixer,' aimed at exposing the mechanisms of match-fixing syndicates. The ongoing investigation into suspicious betting patterns has also cast a shadow on other sports, as seen with darts player Leighton Bennett, who faces suspension following allegations of match-fixing. This broader issue underscores the pervasive risks of corruption within professional sports.
