Three men held in League of Ireland match-fixing probe released without charge

The arrests bring the total number arrested as part of Operation Brookweed to 14.

The operation stems from an investigation carried out by detectives attached to the Anti-Bribery & Corruption Unit in 2019 following reports of suspected match-fixing received from the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

Three men in their thirties have been arrested as part of a planned operation on alleged match-fixing in the League of Ireland.

The Anti-Bribery & Corruption Unit, Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) carried out a day of action today in relation to alleged match-fixing in the League of Ireland.
