Oh no.   :o
 
 
 
Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, released today the upsetting findings of a match-fixing investigation that began last summer. The probe found 680 suspicious soccer matches, including qualifiers for the World Cup and European Championship, as well as two Champions League games. The report indicates that 380 of the suspected matches were played in Europe.

This has been known for some time.  I doubt whether any major sport is entirely free of match fixing in one form or another.  Soccer, as the most popular sport, naturally comes in for the most (unwelcome) attention.
