ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The Turkish state-run news agency says police have detained eight more people in a match-fixing scandal that has implicated league champion Fenerbahce.
Anatolia says the arrests were made Monday. Police wouldn’t immediately comment.
More than 50 people have now been questioned about alleged fixing in the Turkish topflight league last season, including Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim and board member Sekip Mosturoglu.
Dogan news agency reported Sunday that police are investigating Fenerbahce’s 4-3 win over Sivasspor in the last round that helped the Istanbul club win the title. Fenerbahce’s match against Eskisehirspor is also being probed.
Fenerbahce says it is confident the club will “pull through” from the investigation.
