Information sought following match-fixing allegations
"Information sought following match-fixing allegations"
Police are appealing for information following allegations of match-fixing in a recent National Basketball League game.
Basketball NZ contacted Police last week with concerns about suspicious betting activity relating to a specific game.
“Police are well aware of the potential risk that match-fixing and other related activity can have on the integrity of sporting competition,” National Manager, Financial Crime Group, Detective Superintendent Iain Chapman says.
“Police routinely work alongside several key experts and representatives of the sporting community to identify acts of match-fixing and other criminal behaviour. We aim to grow effective information sharing processes between sporting codes and law enforcement.
“Police take match-fixing allegations seriously and are committed to ensuring New Zealand sport is corruption-free. We encourage all those involved in sport who have information about criminal behaviour to contact Police.”
Anyone with
information about this matter is urged to contact Police at
sportintegrity@police.govt.nz or call
Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555
111.
