Sportradar has announced a historic agreement between the Federal Police of Brazil and Sportradar Integrity Services, a global supplier of sport integrity solutions and partner to over 100 sports federations and leagues.
Sportradar has highlighted that the joint effort will deliver a new level of protection in the ongoing efforts to safeguard the nation's sport against match-fixing and corruption
According to a press release, the two parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which will see Sportradar Integrity Services, who have monitored global betting markets for more than 16 years, support the Federal Police by sharing relevant information to combat corruption in sport, exchanging their expertise to establish best practice for tackling fraud investigations, match-fixing and countering corruption within sports and betting.
In this regard, Sportradar emphasizes that match-fixing is a serious and continually evolving threat to the integrity of global sports competitions, with evidence of large syndicates of criminal gangs seeking to manipulate the results of sporting events and bets; doping; payment of bribes and money laundering associated with the high volumes of resources involved.
Referring to this alliance, the Director General of the Brazilian Federal Police, Paulo Gustavo Maiurino, said: “the signing of this agreement between the Federal Police and Sportradar will allow for better targeting of criminal investigations related to such crimes in Brazil, especially those that require international coordination and cooperation".
While, Andreas Krannich, General Director, Integrity Services, Sportradar: “Throughout the years we have supported various state authorities, government institutions, national platforms and sport federations, and these collaborations have demonstrated just how effective a joint effort can be in the anti -match- fixing cause, as shown in the 489 sporting sanctions and 50 criminal sanctions our work has contributed to in this time”.
