Fotbal: Preşedintele Comisiei de arbitri din Turcia a fost plasat în arest preventiv • Newsweek România

The president of Turkey's referees committee, Ferhat Gundogdu, and four others have been placed in preventive detention amid allegations of manipulating referee management processes. They face charges including forgery and abuse of trust. This scandal follows the suspension of 149 referees last year due to illegal betting involvement. Recent police actions also targeted referees in the Super Lig. Justice Minister Akin Gurlek stated that prosecutors are investigating interference in referee rankings and evaluations. The ongoing investigation may connect to last year's betting scandal, raising doubts about the current football leadership's future.
