Five Armenians have been charged in Belgium with corruption, money laundering and other crimes as part of a major international investigation into match-fixing in tennis, Belgian federal prosecutors said today.
They were among 13 people detained in Belgium on Tuesday amid simultaneous raids also launched in the US, Germany, France, Bulgaria, Slovakia and the Netherlands.
An investigating judge in Belgium issued an arrest warrant for five people, "all of Armenian nationality," the federal prosecutor's office said.
"They were charged with corruption, money laundering, forgery and membership of a criminal organisation."
