A LIMERICK sports ground was searched Tuesday in a major garda probe into allegations of match-fixing.
Members of the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB), formerly known as the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation, swooped on the sports facility this evening.
Detectives from the GNECB – based in Harcourt Square in Dublin – were supported by gardai attached to the Limerick Division for the planned operation.
A garda spokeswoman stated: “Gardaí can confirm a search took place this evening, Tuesday 3rd September, 2019 in Limerick at a sports ground.”
