A vast operation against match-fixing and fraudulent betting has led to the detention of dozens of people in the Czech Republic, in a case that spans various levels of football, from the top division to youth leagues. The investigation, which lasted about three years, was conducted in coordination between the Czech police, Europol, and Interpol. The president of the federation, David Trunda, described the operation as 'probably the largest in the history' of football in the country. According to the Olomouc Public Prosecutor's Office, searches were conducted at various residences and properties, targeting a corruption network involving more than 40 suspects, including players, referees, and officials. The scheme is believed to have affected competitions from the first to the fourth division, as well as youth leagues, with a particular focus on the Moravia region in the east of the country. The federation's Ethics Committee has already initiated disciplinary proceedings, while the operation also received support from the National Organized Crime Agency and regional police authorities. For now, the identities of those detained have not been disclosed.
