BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary’s soccer federation says it has given second-division player Daniel Kiprich a one-year ban for attempted match-fixing.
The federation says that evidence reviewed Tuesday, including testimony from players approached by Kiprich, shows that he attempted to influence the result of a May 9 match between two second-division teams, Tatabanya and Gyimrot.
The federation, which has reported the case to prosecutors, says Gyimrot defender Kiprich offered to pay three Tatabanya players $440 each to fix the match.
Kiprich’s lawyer tells Hungarian state news wire MTI that they will appeal the ruling.
Daniel Kiprich is the son of Joszef Kiprich, who scored 28 goals in 70 games for Hungary between 1984 and 1995.
