This footballer in the Italian Serie A could face a four-year ban from all football competitions for his alleged involvement in match fixing. It is not just him alone, the Diego Giordano, a 40-year-old pizzeria owner in Udine could also face sanctions.
How did the match fixing happen? The player who is a goalie was booked for time-wasting in the 64th minute during one of the games in March 2024. Time wasting is a type of match fixing in addition to those from the ref and other officials.
Match fixing happens everywhere but it is only easier to detect in the smaller leagues

https://sportsration.com/maduka-okoye-in-trouble-as-investigation-begins-into-illegal-betting-accusation/I tried to find references from other news besides what you present in this thread, because it seems that this case is still in the investigation stage. Another news source that I read, this Udinese goalkeeper was put at stake in a bet to get a yellow card in the match against Lazio, March 2024. various newspapers reported that Maduka Okoye was threatened with severe sanctions, but the news so far seems to be unclear, more precisely the Maduka Okoye case is still in the investigation stage related to alleged soccer gambling. now, my question is whether this case is included in the organized match-fixing scheme, or the actions of a handful of stakeholders who use one individual player to get involved in illegal betting. it seems that what happened in the Maduka Okoye case is separate from the category of match-fixing cases, because this is more of a deliberate violation with the aim of being involved in soccer gambling. but whatever it is, things like this or the like should no longer happen. not only about sportsmanship in the world of football, but more about upholding the values of football without involving personal gain or a handful of groups who use cheating methods for their interests. one more thing, if this goalkeeper is proven guilty, it is a shame that he is still young but his career in football is ruined.
