The Italian tennis professionals Daniele Bracciali (39) and Potito Starace (36) have been acquitted by a court in Cremona of accusations of sports fraud.

This concludes a three-year process. The two tennis players now want to demand compensation, the Italian sports daily Corriere dello Sport reported on Wednesday.

By 2015, the Italian tennis federation FIT had already acquitted the two of them. They had previously been banned for life because they allegedly manipulated games and committed betting fraud. The Italians had been targeted by the public prosecutor’s office in Cremona, which investigated a total of 130 people, including numerous footballers, as part of a major trial.
