The Koriopolis is the name given by the Greek press for a match fixing scandal in Greek football that came to light in June 2011. The investigation centres on offences including illegal gambling, fraud, extortion and money laundering. The name Koriopolis is a pun on the name of Italian scandal of Calciopoli in 2006, and the Greek word ''korios'' (phone tap). == History == The investigation was launched after UEFA, the sports governing body in Europe, published a report that indicated at least 40 matches were fixed in the country during the 2009–10 season. Among the 68 suspects listed by judicial authorities on 24 June 2011 were Greek Super League chairman and Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis and Olympiacos player Avraam Papadopoulos, other club officials, players, referees and a chief of police.〔 Details of the scandal were outlined in a 130-page document, a copy of which was seen by the Associated Press.〔 It contains numerous transcripts of recorded telephone conversations, filled with profanities and threats of physical violence, allegedly between corrupt team officials deciding match results, using players and referees.〔 In one of the conversations, Olympiacos Volou 1937 F.C.' chairman Achilleas Beos asks protection for the referees from Evangelos Marinakis (president of Olympiakos), after a controversial winning game of Olympiacos against Panathinaikos on 21 February 2011. Among the 68 suspects were also Thomas Mitropoulos, ex-president of Egaleo FC, Ioannis Kompotis (owner of Levadiakos FC), Giorgos Borovilos (president of Asteras Tripolis), Dimitris Bakos (owner of Asteras Tripolis), the referees Giachos, Kalopoulos, Tryfonas, Giannis Spathas and many more.〔(Απαγόρευση εξόδου από τη χώρα σε 68 ύποπτους για τα «στημένα» ), naftemporiki.gr〕 Giorgos Nikitiadis, the government’s deputy culture minister, described the investigation as "the darkest page in the history of Greek football" and the probe would go "as deep and as high as necessary".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Koriopolis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
