The lead investigator in Brazil’s sprawling soccer match-fixing scandal says he has uncovered potential evidence of wrongdoing by players in other countries.
FILE - Justice Minister Flavio Dino attends a tribute to security professionals who worked to defend public buildings stormed by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, at the Justice Ministry in Brasilia, Brazil, Friday, Jan. 13, 2023. Dino said that he will launch a national investigation into soccer match-fixing.
O Globo reported last week that Alves, who is Brazilian, had been named in the probe. The Rapids of Major League Soccer confirmed in a statement that a player suspended in connection with the case is a member of their squad, but did not identify him. Alves has not commented publicly. Local media reported that suspected criminals mentioned having contacts in Greece and Lithuania, which Cesconetto did not confirm.
The Brazilian soccer confederation said in a statement it had asked the government to investigate so it can “centralize all the information about the cases under investigation.” The AP had access to the case against Bauermann and other players. Evidence with Goias investigators suggests Bauermann exchanged text messages offering to fix matches and suggested in November he could bring in two of his teammates to help the scheme. Bauermann's attorneys have denied wrongdoing by their client.
