Turkish Referee Chief Arrested in Corruption Probe

Turkish authorities have arrested the head of the country's football referee association and six other individuals following raids on their homes and workplaces.

Turkish Justice Minister Akin Gürlek confirmed the arrests of Ferhat Gündogdu, his deputy, and five others. The investigation targets allegations of interference in referee classifications, match scheduling, and result manipulation.

While the connection to last year's gambling scandal remains unclear, officials aim to restore integrity to Turkish football by holding those responsible accountable. rouesnews.click
