Colombian crime figure reported to be behind A-League betting scheme

According to court documents, one player ran an alleged spot-fixing operation within the Macarthur FC A-League team while following instructions from a Colombian criminal figure.

This was the suspect's first court appearance since he and two other players were detained and accused of crimes involving the intentional accumulation of yellow cards in two A-League games for betting purposes, which resulted in the payment of winnings totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to an offshore third party.
