Fifa have vowed to set up an informer platform in their fight against corruption in football.
|||Berlin – Fifa plan to step up the fight against illegal betting and match fixing, its security chief has said in a German newspaper interview.
Chris Eaton told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung that football's world governing body plans to offer an anonymous reporting system and amnesty programme in the coming year.
An “informer platform” would enable people to come forward with evidence of match-fixing. There would be an amnesty on Fifa action for a player, official or administrator who came forward with information.
The former Interpol official said football was in a “war” against organised crime. Although the problem was a global one there had been a significant number of cases in Europe.
Few countries had realised the dimension of the problem, with criminals able to earn more from match-fixing than drugs dealing, he said.
Fifa have already set up an early warning system to detect suspicious betting patterns and has pledged €20 million euros to Interpol over 10 years to help combat the problem. – Sapa-dpa
