SOFIA, April 14 (Reuters) - The Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) has reported suspected match-fixing to the police surrounding the possible payment of bribes to fix the outcome of second-tier games.
Officials from five clubs -- Septemvri Simitli, Lokomotiv Mezdra, Vereya Stara Zagora, Botev Vratsa and Pirin Razlog -- were summoned to give evidence, the BFU said in a statement on Tuesday.
Last week, Lokomotiv Mezdra sparked the match-fixing row after accusing referee Nikolay Andreev of "blatantly influencing" the outcome of their match at Vereya.
"What happened in Stara Zagora was a mockery to us," Lokomotiv captain Nikolay Tsvetkov told local media.
