More details have been revealed, through 'El Confidencial', about the investigation into illegal betting being carried out by the National Police on the activities of Sevilla footballer Kike Salas.
According to a report sent to the court, the under-21 international allegedly even advanced the initial lineups of his team before they were made public.
In one of the collected messages, Salas confirmed that he would be a starter before the match against Las Palmas, and the same thing happened in other matches such as against Villarreal or Athletic Club.
Salas would also have forced yellow cards in at least five matches and used false identities to place bets on his behalf in Sevilla's matches.
The estimated profit from the operation is not high, amounting to 9,000 euros, but the case against the player could end in a conviction for fraud (with penalties of up to three years in prison) regardless of the sports sanctions that the league may apply.
