Assignment: The Art of Match-Fixing

Available for over a year

The arrest in Turkey last week of more than 40 people for their alleged involvement in fixing football matches has added weight to the suspicion that this is an epidemic in European football that the authorities are struggling to control. Indeed, when police in Germany arrested 15 people last November, accusing them of having fixed more than 200 games, the man leading the prosecution said this was only the tip of the iceberg. David Goldblatt has been investigating.
