UEFA has announced inspectors from the organisation have received death threats over an investigation into match-fixing.
The body has been examining suspicious betting patterns involving Albanian club Skenderbeu Korce, who were banned from European competition for the 2016-17 season as a result of the probe.
UEFA's Betting Fraud Detection System (BFDS) has now uncovered "a far greater pattern of involvement" in alleged match-fixing at Skenderbeu, with the club set to receive a longer European suspension.
And in an extraordinary statement released on Friday, UEFA confirmed staff members on the Skenderbeu case have been the subject of death threats.
