Former referee and commentator Ahmet Çakar, in a statement following the National Team's defeat to Paraguay, alleged "serious risk" regarding 4 national football players without naming them. Here are the details...
Former referee and sports commentator Ahmet Çakar made statements that will shake the football agenda following the match where the Turkish National Football Team lost to Paraguay. Speaking on a live broadcast, Çakar claimed that some names in the national team squad were involved in an illegal betting scandal.
"GENTLEMEN, COME THIS WAY, WE ARE GOING TO THE POLICE"
Ahmet Çakar, who alleged that 4 football players within the national team have been identified as betting on their own matches as part of an ongoing investigation, used striking expressions. Stating that he had previously voiced these claims but received no denial from anyone, the famous commentator said, "In the current context, when the plane lands at the airport, right after passport control, if they told these 4 players, 'Gentlemen, come this way, we are going to the police,' nobody would be surprised."
HE GAVE THE FIRST LETTERS OF THE 4 FOOTBALL PLAYERS' NAMES
Emphasizing that the football players facing the betting allegation are under very serious legal risk, Çakar gave the first letters of these players' names and said:
"The player whose name starts with an S, like Samsun, is under very heavy legal risk. The player whose name starts with an A, like Ahmet, faces a quite serious risk. The player whose name starts with a B, like Balıkesir, is under considerable risk. The player whose name starts with an H, like Hakkari, is also among those carrying severe legal risk."
