According to him, there are “strong indications” that they were also involved in volleyball, beach volleyball, and basketball
Investigators are still far from the end of the investigation, he added.
As reported earlier, a 28-year-old Grigor Sargsyan, known as “Maestro”, is suspected of being the leader of a syndicate organizing fixing tennis matches with over 100 players across Europe.
Spanish police have earlier arrested 15 people in an investigation into tennis match-fixing by an Armenian criminal gang.
