Higgins investigation continues

The investigation into newspaper allegations that John Higgins agreed to a match-fixing deal continues today.

David Douglas, the former Metropolitan Police detective chief superintendent who joined the board of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) last month, will meet management of the News of the World, which filmed Higgins allegedly agreeing to accept £261,000 (€301,712) in return for fixing the outcome of four frames in matches to be played later this year.
