World Football - Prostitutes and cash for promotion

A Croatian football team allegedly bribed referees with prostitutes, cash and fancy dinners to win promotion to the top flight, according to reports in Croatian newspaper Jutarnji List.

Karlovac chief Neven Sprajcer, who was arrested in December, allegedly paid former referee Zeljko Siric a total of 40,000 euros to help get the team promoted to Croatia's First Division.

A hotelier near Split claims to have helped organise the payments and services provided to referees, linesmen and rival teams as the way was cleared for Karlovac to go up.

Several arrests have already been made in what is the biggest corruption and match fixing scandal ever to hit the country. Siric has also been arrested, as has referees' commission president Stejpan Dedovic for allegedly taking money to guarantee that matches would be refereed fairly.

The newspaper reports that marked cash was given to several of those involved as part of a trap set up by investigators with the aid of Hajduk Split president Hrvoje Males.

I assume the taking of the cash is the offence, not ensuring it is fair.

taking money to ensure fair refereing

But I guess if he already took money from the other team, he would have to to level it out.

2 bribes in opposing direction cancel eachother out as we all know!
