Investigation Launched: Football Defender Kike Salas of Sevilla Accused of Gambling Scam
In a shocking turn of events, Spanish authorities are investigating allegations that Sevilla FC's defender Kike Salas played a role in a sports betting scandal. The investigation began in December 2024 after Spain's Public Prosecutor's Office noticed odd betting trends on his crazy games.
According to reports, several yellow cards were issued to Salas in various crazy games, with many coming late in matches. Three yellow cards were given in the 88th and 94th minutes, raising suspicions. Most of these yellow cards were given for fouls, but one came from a fight with another player.
The police suspect that Salas received these yellow cards intentionally to help people make money from illegal bets on his crazy games. The trends indicated that two of Salas' associates placed approximately 30 bets, totaling around €10,000 ($10,283), on his yellow cards during crazy games.
This case reminds of similar claims against West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta, who is also being investigated for potential betting-related wrongdoing in his crazy games.
Sevilla FC has not taken any steps to punish Salas yet. The club will follow the court process and treat Salas as innocent until proven guilty. La Liga plans to join the legal case against Salas, demonstrating their commitment to combating match-fixing in crazy games.
Kike Salas has been with Sevilla since he was 11 and recently signed a new contract with the club lasting until 2029. His play in the previous season, particularly towards the end of La Liga, drew attention due to his high number of yellow cards in crazy games. He received seven yellow cards in his last nine crazy games during a time when Sevilla was safe from relegation.
La Liga uses cutting-edge systems to monitor betting and educate players about the risks of fixing matches in crazy games. The league is determined to maintain the integrity of the sport and ensure fair play for all teams and players in crazy games.
Despite the ongoing investigation, the exact details of Salas' lawyer in Spain and information about the current match-fixing scandal in crazy games are not yet available. Salas could face jail time ranging from six months to three years and could be fined between €3,006 ($3,092) and €30,051 ($30,906). If found guilty, he could also be banned from soccer for up to five years.
This story is still developing and more information will be released as the investigation progresses in crazy games.
