In Brazil, an entrepreneurial referee landed in jail

A large scandal flared up in Brazilian football. In the city of San Paulo, an arbiter of FIFA Edson Pereira Dee Carvalle, who is suspected of organizing contractual matches, was detained.

The judge admitted that he actually dried up one of the teams several times. According to preliminary data, an unclean referee in hand judged 11 matches of the Brazil national championship, of which not one ended in a draw. In addition, the judge worked at the Games of the Championship of San Paulo and the Libertadores Cup - the South American analogue of the European Champions League.

According to the arbitrator, he reported to the accomplices in advance what matches he had to judge. At the same time, Dee Carvalia tried to make the winner the Favorite team so as not to incur unnecessary suspicions. The amount of bets reached 400 thousand reactions (180 thousand dollars), and the feud of a bribed judge amounted to up to 6 thousand dollars.

According to ITAR-TASS with reference to the Estade agency, the judge had several tricks in Arsenal, which picked up players and allowed them to remove them from the field within the framework of the rules.

As the prosecutor of the Higher Sports Tribunal of Brazil Paulo Schmidt stated, the question is considered to cancel the results of all 11 matches that Di Carvalia judged.
