A preliminary investigation has been opened by the financial center of the Bastia public prosecutor’s office into suspicions of match-fixing in the Ligue 1 Ajaccio-Montpellier match on April 27. The investigation was initiated at the request of the Ajaccio public prosecutor’s office. The suspicions arose due to high amounts observed in bets for the ACA-Montpellier match, with over 200,000 euros wagered. The Online Gaming Regulatory Authority (Arjel), responsible for combating fraud in sports betting, reported the unusual betting activity, leading to the opening of the investigation. The match ended with Ajaccio winning 2-1, with both goals scored late in the game, raising concerns.
