<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>UEFA said on Tuesday it had been shocked by reports that Italian second division games have been fixed for 100,000 euros.</em></strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify">UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino reacted after the president of Serie B club Catania reportedly admitted to buying the results of five matches in the past season.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"We are of course sad to learn what is happening. We are worried that a second division club can fix five matches paying 100,000 euros per match," Infantino told a press conference.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"We are worried about the situation and in general and that is why we are fighting against it.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"That's why we are working with the prosecutors, that's why we are working with associations."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Italian police have arrested five people including Catania president Antonio Pulvirenti over the latest match-fixing scandal to rock Italian football. Pulvirenti made his confession on Monday, according to Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"Unfortunately we are dealing with criminal organisations," Infantino said of the Italian case.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">UEFA is now using a sophisticated data collection system to monitor all first and second division games in Europe. There are also anti-fraud officers in each of UEFA's 54 members.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">But another case involving Greek champions Olympiakos has also tainted Europe football.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The Pireaus team's owner Evangelos Marinakis has been banned from all football activities while a Greek judge looks into allegations that the shipping tycoon was part of a criminal gang that fixed Greek Super League matches between 2011 and 2013.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Infantino said that Olympiakos has been "provisionally" accepted for next season's Champions League while the investigation goes ahead.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"These kind of investigations can take some time. We need some clear evidence."</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">Infantino said that in general, UEFA "cannot start taping phone calls or going to check bank accounts or whatever. For this we need the help of the prosecutors."</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><strong>By AFP</strong></p>
