Bolivian football hit by blackmail and threats
T339 A scandal has emerged in Bolivian football indicating that the goalkeeper of Guapira, Juan Manuel Virel, received death threats unless he paid a sum of money or allowed three goals to be scored in favor of an opposing team during a match against L Silva Redi, which ended with a 6-0 victory for the latter. After conceding three goals in the first half-hour, the goalkeeper requested the game to be halted and was substituted before the end of the first half, drawing widespread sympathy. The coach and players emphasized the need for an investigation by the federation and the public prosecutor's office, suggesting possible involvement of an organized criminal group. Both teams filed an official complaint without making direct accusations. It is worth noting that the Bolivian federation's second-place team is L Silva Redi, and this incident could potentially impact the reputation of the sport.
