Thirty-six footballers cleared of wrongdoing

Written by on 10 December 2019

Thirty-six football players on trial in Spain’s most high-profile match-fixing case have been cleared of wrongdoing.
A Spanish judge issued the not guilty verdict, saying there was not enough evidence to convict the players and others on trial, including former Mexico coach Javier Aguirre.
Two former Zaragoza officials were found guilty of fraud – then-president Agapito Iglesias and club director Javier Porquera – and have been handed a 15-month prison sentence.
