Italian footballer Andrea Masiello has reportedly been arrested after allegedly admitting to match-fixing.
According to the BBC, The Italian Football Federation said former Bari defender confessed to scoring an own goal in a game against Lecce last season on purpose.
Eight of his former Bari team-mates are also under investigation.
Investigators are examining nine matches in the Serie A championship, with the suspicion that a total of five were manipulated during the 2010-2011 season.
Police said two of Masiello's friends who bet on match results have also been arrested.
The Italian news agency ANSA is reporting he manipulated the score for 180,000 euros.
ANSA also said he wrote a note to prosecutors last week explaining: "I took advantage of an opportunity that was given to me so that I could definitely secure Bari's defeat so I could get the payment promised to me."
