Three A-League players arrested over alleged betting corruption

A senior Macarthur FC A-League player has been accused of paying two younger teammates up to $10,000 to deliberately receive yellow cards during games, in a scheme allegedly masterminded by a person in South America.

The senior player and two junior players have been charged over their alleged involvement in the betting fix, which police say has led to hundreds of thousands of dollars being paid out in winnings.

NSW Police assistant commissioner Michael Fitzgerald said police wanted to question a fourth player, who is currently interstate, over alleged involvement in the scheme, threatening to extradite him if he does not return to NSW to face questioning.

Investigators allege yellow cards were manipulated during games played on 24 November and 9 December.
