Emmanuel Emenike, the Nigerian international and Spartak Moscow player, faced serious legal trouble in Turkey. The prosecutor in Istanbul’s Sixteenth Criminal Chamber accused Emenike of being involved in a match-fixing scandal. The specific allegation was that Emenike faked an injury in May 2011 to avoid playing in a match against Fenerbahçe while he was with his club Karabükspor.
In July of the same year, Aziz Yildirim, the president of Fenerbahçe, was sentenced to six years and three months in prison in connection with the match-fixing case. The scandal involved a total of 93 people, with several individuals being convicted.
The legal proceedings and outcomes in such cases can evolve, so it’s recommended to check the latest news for any updates on this matter.
