La Liga Match-Fixing Appears to Be Confirmed as Recorded Phone Calls are Released

Phone calls which were intercepted by Spanish police have appeared to confirm that match-fixing took place in La Liga this season.

Real Valladolid midfielder Borja Fernández, as well as former players Carlos Aranda and Raul Bravo, has been at the centre of the 'Oikos Operation' corruption case and after being charged were released on bail.

Spanish newspaper El Mundo (via Marca), however, have published recorded phone calls which appear to confirm the match-fixing allegations which were centred around Valladolid's defeat to Valencia on the final day of the season.

"Seven players were bribed, no more," Aranda said in one of the recordings.
