A Tel Aviv court ordered a five-day extension of the remand of the professional soccer player suspected of involvement in illegal gambling and match-fixing, N12 reports. The new detention runs until Monday, June 22, when the player is expected to be released to house arrest under an agreed-upon arrangement.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, the player has denied the allegations to associates, saying published reports are false and vowing full cooperation with investigators. The case is part of a broader police probe into alleged criminal influence in Israeli soccer.
The suspect had been arrested earlier this month. Details of the specific matches or betting patterns under investigation have not been made public.
