Turkish arbitration chief in custody
The chairman of the Turkish Football Arbitration Committee, Ferhat Gündoğdu, along with five other individuals, has been placed in pre-trial detention in connection with a corruption case involving manipulation of referee rankings, appointments, and official examinations. The charges against them include forgery, breach of trust, and illegal possession of personal data. These measures come a year after the Turkish Football Federation suspended 149 referees in a scandal related to illegal betting, and investigations are currently ongoing into their unlawful interference in referees' ranking, assessment, and promotion processes.
