Jerusalem, 3 September, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Three former players and an actress were arrested and questioned Thursday on suspicion of fixing games in Israel’s Women’s Premier League and illegal gambling, police said Thursday.
The months-long investigation centers on suspicions that games were manipulated in exchange for payments.
