"The FA started its investigation in August 2023 and the Brazil international was charged in May last year for allegedly getting booked deliberately "for the improper purpose of affecting the betting market". The four charges against him related to a Premier League game against Leicester City on 12 November 2022, as well as 2023 fixtures against Aston Villa on 12 March, Leeds United on 21 May and Bournemouth on 12 August."
"Paqueta was also charged with two counts of failing to co-operate with the investigation after breaching "FA Rule F3 in respect of alleged failures to comply pursuant to FA Rule F2", which relates to providing information and documents. He also denied these charges, but the regulatory commission found them to be proven. "The regulatory commission will decide an appropriate sanction for the breaches of FA Rule F3 that were found proven and the details will be published at the earliest opportunity," added the FA."
Lucas Paqueta was cleared of four spot-fixing charges by an independent FA regulatory commission after an investigation into alleged deliberate bookings in four Premier League matches between November 2022 and August 2023. The FA began its inquiry in August 2023 and charged Paqueta in May 2024 with intentionally receiving bookings to affect betting markets. Paqueta denied all spot-fixing allegations but was found to have committed two counts of failing to cooperate with the investigation in breach of FA Rule F3 relating to the provision of information and documents. The commission will impose an appropriate sanction for those breaches.
