Turkish arbitration chief jailed on corruption
A media report has revealed that Tharafat Gündoğdu, the head of the Turkish Football Arbitration Committee, along with four other individuals, has been placed in pretrial detention at a court in Turkey on charges related to complex corruption scandals involving manipulation of arbitration affairs. These include document forgery, breach of trust, and unlawful possession of personal data. This comes after the Turkish Football Federation suspended 149 referees last year due to a scandal involving illegal betting. Prosecutors suspect that the accused interfered by forging documents and manipulating rankings, which affected referee evaluations and match appointments. Investigations indicate their illicit involvement in influencing refereeing outcomes through forgery and threats.
