German match-fixing probe claims betting information was sold on dark web

In the nation's lower soccer leagues, there may be a syndicate engaged in match-fixing and betting fraud, according to German authorities. That came about as a result of message logs detailing information about fixed games that were allegedly being sold on the dark web being found by newspaper reporters.

These were messages about seventeen games that were supposed to provide instructions on how to manipulate them. Transactions made in Bitcoin provided proof that the person selling the information had been successful in finding buyers.
