Italy arrests 10 mafia suspects in soccer match-fixing probe (Reuters)
Italian police have arrested 10 people on suspicion of being members of the mafia as part of a probe into soccer match-fixing, investigators in the southern city of Naples said on Monday. The arrests stem from a probe into two matches in Serie B -- Italy's second-tier championship -- in 2014 that investigators say were rigged. During the investigation, police uncovered a network linked to a local clan that primarily dealt in drugs but managed to make an illicit profit of 100,000 euros ($112,000) on one rigged match alone, investigators told a televised news conference.
