The biggest European football authority, which is investigating KF Skenderbeu’s involvement in match-fixing, says that their Disciplinary inspectors working on the case have received anonymous death threats.

The UEFA declaration notes that “KF Skënderbeu were previously banned from participating in UEFA competitions in the 2016/17 season due to involvement in match-fixing. This ban was recently upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)”,

UEFA underlines that they remain fully committed to the fight against match-fixing and all UEFA staff working on these crucial matters can count on the full support of the organisation.

“We will never allow UEFA staff working on these matters, or any other matters, to be subject to threats or intimidation from any third parties. They have the full backing of the organisation, including 100% personal support from me,” UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin is quoted.
