Argentina’s justice system has opened an investigation into potential match-fixing in a Copa Argentina match earlier this month, as reported by Reuters.
The match in question is Boca Juniors’ Round of 16 meeting with Agropecuario on 11 August, in which Agropecuario player Milton Leyendeker was red carded eight minutes into the game.
Prompted by local media reports, Prosecutor Celsa Ramirez is currently investigating whether or not there were any bets on a player from the home team to be red carded before the 10-minute mark.
“We want to see if there is any truth in the media reports,” said a source from the Prosecutor's office, adding that such bets are illegal.
