Atletico skipper Gabi admits to playing role in match-fixing scandal


Atletico Madrid captain Gabi has admitted to prosecutors in Spain he played a role in a match-fixing scandal during his time at Real Zaragoza.


It has been reported he told officials he was just following orders from the club.

 

 

The scandal relates to Zaragoza's 2-1 win over Levante in 2011, a result that saw the Aragon club avoid relegation.

 

According to reports Levante players were paid 120, 000 euros via Gabi's personal bank account to lose the game.

 

The 31-year-old who scored the two goals that sealed the all-important victory - is one of many under investigation and could face a lengthy ban for his involvement.
