Match fixing: Man arrested over attempted bribery of professional League player
A man has been arrested over the alleged attempted bribery of a professional League of Ireland football player during the current season.
The man, aged in his 30s, was arrested on Tuesday by detectives from the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Unit of the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) as part of an ongoing investigation.
The individual was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at a Garda Station in the Western Region.
He has since been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
A Garda statement added: “The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Unit remains committed to safeguarding the integrity of sport in Ireland and continues to work closely with all relevant stakeholders.
