European betting operators say they found no evidence of
suspicious wagers made on World Cup football matches.
Bookmakers' monitoring system, the European Sports Security
Association, said Tuesday that it investigated bets made before and
during the month long tournament for possible links to attempts at
match-fixing.
The ESSA is part of a network of early warning systems alerting
FIFA and other sports federations to betting-related corruption.
FIFA said last week it found no indication of attempts to fix
any of the 64 World Cup matches.
FIFA operated a telephone hot line in South Africa for players,
referees and officials to report approaches by match-fixers.
