ATP/WTA: Belgium: Five Armenians indicted for tennis betting fraud

Five Armenians have been indicted in Belgium for bribery and money laundering, among other things, as part of an international investigation into game manipulation in tennis. This was announced by the public prosecutor’s office in Brussels on Wednesday.

“An arrest warrant was issued for five people,” the prosecution announced: “They were charged with bribery, money laundering, the production of false evidence and membership of a criminal organization.

Games at future and challenger level that are not broadcast on television will be affected. The prize money there is small enough to bribe players. Already on Tuesday, the police conducted raids all over Europe and arrested 13 people.
