Italian police said they have arrested Serbian soccer player Almir Gegic, who has been wanted since June 2011 for alleged involvement in a widespread match-fixing case.
Gegic turned himself in upon his arrival at Milan’s Malpensa airport after more than a year on the run.
He was allegedly a link between the fixing ring’s base in Asia and Italian players. He was charged with criminal association and sports fraud and could be interrogated by the end of the week.
