ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A prosecutor says 93 people, including Fenerbahce President Aziz Yildirim, are facing criminal charges connected with an alleged match-fixing scandal.
Fikret Secen, deputy prosecutor for Istanbul, says Yildirim faces charges of match-fixing and obtaining unfair economic advantages. Yildirim has denied any wrong-doing.
Speaking Saturday, Secen says 14 players are among those charged.
If found guilty, the maximum punishment in the case is not clear. President Abdullah Gul on Friday vetoed parliamentary amendments that would have reduced prison terms for match-fixing.
Parliament voted for the changes last week, only eight months after it approved sentences of up to 12 years for anyone convicted of fixing games.
