ROME: A judicial prosecutor says Italian tennis player Daniele Bracciali has partially admitted to match-fixing.
Investigator
Roberto Di Martino told AP on Wednesday that Bracciali had "admitted a
few things and denied a few things" during a hearing last week with
authorities.
Bracciali and occasional doubles partner Potito
Starace face corruption accusations after intercepted internet
conversations, claiming they had 'sold' matches, were printed three
weeks ago in Italian media.
The conversations are part of data
that investigators, led by Di Martino in Cremona, have been sorting
through in a soccer match-fixing inquiry.
Di Martino said the tennis inquiry had "reached a level where it's all over the world".
He
would not confirm or deny reports that former Swedish player Tomas
Nydahl was also under investigation for recruiting players to fix
matches.
