The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine shared the details of a large-scale operation that uncovered corruption schemes in Ukrainian football.

"Professional Football League highly appreciates the efforts of law enforcement agencies and FFU to clean up domestic football. Of course, we and our clubs are ready to cooperate with the investigation and provide all the necessary information, "- quotes Makarov's official site PFL.

"We have stressed many times the need for surgical intervention by law enforcement to remove this cancer. For Ukrainian football, this purification arose a long time ago. We are waiting for the final results of the investigation and bringing to justice certain individuals, first of all, customers, chairmen of the above-mentioned criminal groups ".

"Information is publicized - these are suspicions, not judicial decisions, therefore it is too early to make categorical judgments. I would also like that the result of the investigation is the punishment not of clubs as a whole, but of established criminals. After all, it often happens that several unscrupulous football players can tarnish the name of a whole club with a long history, hundreds of people who honestly work in it. They are the same victims of this situation as the fans, whose faith in football, we hope, will not shake the uncleanliness of individual scoundrels ".

"PFL consistently upholds the principle of" zero tolerance "for such phenomena.

We hope that these events will help to restart the national football and make it purer ".

Earlier it was reported that the FFU knew perfectly well that a number of arbitrators of the ULP were betting on matches, which they also judged.

Recall that the presidential election PFL appointed on June 27.
