Police in Germany are investigating potential match-fixing in lower-league football after reports that match scores may have been sold online for betting.
The Hamburger Morgenpost revealed that message logs indicated the sale of information on up to 17 fixed games, including refereeing mistakes or unusual goals.
Prosecutors in Saarbrucken commented that the investigation was prompted by allegations of possible manipulation of lower-league games for sports betting fraud.
The German football federation stated that it is in contact with authorities regarding possible match-fixing, but lacks firm information on specific cases yet.
