Both Gais and the Swedish Football Association have been informed of the ongoing investigation, which concerns in particular the matches in which Superettan’s team participated.
According to information from SportExpressen, the research applies to matches played in 2019.
– What I can say is that the investigation is directed at criminal networks in which we have targeted activities before. It is an investigation that goes against criminal networks. We are not focusing on Gais or that Gais would be involved as an association, but that Gais matches are possible, or that indicates that Gais matches have been used by criminal networks, says Gårdare.
– We have started the interrogations, reported the Swedish Football and Gay Association. But I can clarify that we do not suspect Gais as an association. We will have interviews with many players, coaches and leaders in the coming weeks.
“Have a dialogue with the police”
The Swedish Football Association’s appeal against match-fixing – by SvFF called “Integrity Officer” – Johan Claesson, also confirms that SvFF has been notified of the ongoing investigation.
– We have a dialogue with the police about the investigation you mention. Otherwise, we do not comment on ongoing investigations, he says.
Gai’s president, Jonas Andersson, says the club was informed a couple of days ago.
– I received information about this a couple of days ago that they are conducting an investigation. I don’t know more than that and I don’t know what games it is about. It’s apparently about last season, but it can be bigger than that.
– Match fixing is a poison in sports and must be countered in every way. What happens, we have seen examples and trials, it is extremely unpleasant that our parties appear to be subject to some kind of review. I don’t know much else, he says.
“No Gais who has been focused”
The Gais base continues:
– It is not Gais who has been in the spotlight throughout the process, definitely not as a club.
Are you investigating the problem internally?
– Yes, we have a dialogue with the police about how we should act and I really don’t want to comment on it to the outside world.
– I do not want to comment on what measures we do or do not do. We take him to the police. It’s very sad no matter what kind of club is involved and splashing it in our club is even more pitiful, says Andersson.
