Santos' Eduardo Bauermann is accused of receiving bribes from a mafia that manipulated results in the Brasileirao. The decision came after the disclosure of fragments of a telephone conversation in which a bettor threatened the player.
The Prosecutor's Office investigates at least five players from five first and second division teams in the case of alleged rigging. According to investigations, players charged between $10,000 and $20,000 to receive yellow or red cards, commit penalties, or even defeat their team.
