Three more charged in Turkish matchfixing probe

Sariyer District Court in Istanbul confirmed charges, Anatolian said, against Recep Ozturk, a goalkeeper with second-tier Konyaspor, Temel Eyupoglu, chairman of third-tier Tepecikspor, and businessman Ali Riza Gultekin.

Eight more people were being questioned on Friday, and further arrests could follow, authorities said.

"I'm very sorry that my former team mates are in such a situation... I'm sure the investigation will prove their innocence. This is a blow to the perception of the football community," he told broadcaster NTV.
