Anderlecht Pair Sacked For Matchfixing

Posted on: Feb 17, 2006 in Archive

Marius Mitu and Laurent Delorge have been sacked by Anderlecht after the pair admitted being involved in matchfixing while playing for Lierse last season.

Belgian police had begun an investigation last November after being tipped off regarding unusually heavy betting patterns on some Belgian league games.

Anderlecht General manager Herman van Holsbeeck has said about the sackings: “We have no confidence in these players and have decided now to terminate their contracts.”
