First Vice-President of FFU Nazar Holodnitsky said that he can wait for those guilty of organizing match-fixing matches.
Last week, a large-scale operation took place, during which law enforcement bodies conducted more than 50 searches of people suspected of organizing match-fixing matches in nine regions of Ukraine. The National Police also reported that at once 35 football clubs are involved in organizing and participating in football matches with a "fixed" result.
"The current Criminal Code provides for up to five years in prison. This is a crime of medium gravity. All transplantation is not our task. I, for example, support the idea that an ordinary football player who has become a hostage to a system that has been building for years must give a second chance. Question to the organizers. People who participated in the schemes, but did not come under investigation, should understand that in the future it is necessary to live honestly. With everyone who has got, it is necessary to work separately. We are waiting for information from the Prosecutor General's Office, the results of the investigation of the National Police. ? I think the National Police would not have drawn diagrams if they did not have evidence of a particular guilt. We do not talk only about the basic composition of the teams, it can be the players of the teams U-19, U-21.
I expect that the proceedings will end with judicial sentences, not necessarily with imprisonment.
I do not rule out that there may be an agreement with the investigation. Our task is not to show that everyone in prisons. Our task is to show that we have discovered these shameful facts. I do not exclude the fact that not all clubs have been shown. I emphasize, our goal is to clean football from this dirt, "said Kholodnitsky in an interview with the Great Football.
