While some of us are attempting to earn some money in legal way, others are trying to deceive us. Those 'others' were successful until three years ago...
All national leagues throughout the world must have good defence system for knowing the results up front, but it seems that even one of the best leagues in Europe is not immune to game fixing. Pamplona judge on Thursday has said that 18 people will go on trial for scamming every passionate football lover from the LaLiga matches of 2013/14 season. Out of that number, three are former players of Real Betis: Xavier Torres, Antonio Amaya Carazo and Jordi Figueras. The tribunal said there was proof that Osasuna executives paid the trio 400.000 euros to beat Real Valladolid with additional 250.000 to lose to Osasuna in their next game. All that was done with an 'effort' to provide Osasuna to stay in Primera division in the final two games of the season. What was wanted - that was achieved: Real Betis beat Real Valladolid 4:3 and at the final game Real Betis lost as guests to Osasuna 2:1. However, whenever something is going your way in calculations suddenly something must go wrong: all three above mentioned teams were relegated. In other words 650.000 euros was a real waste. All parties strongly is denying taking bribe.
In total 29 people were under suspicion, 11 were thrown out from the investigation which lasted 2 years. From those 15 remained, 6 'wise' Osasuna functionaries are now framed for 'document and account forgery, corporate crime and sporting fraud'.
