HELSINKI (AP)—Finnish police say they are holding five players and one other person suspected of being involved in match fixing in top-division games.

The National Bureau of Investigation says the players are suspected of taking bribes to fix matches in Finland last year.

A police statement Friday said they also were holding a Singapore citizen arrested with false identification papers on Feb. 25. He is suspected of “paying players to fix match results,” it said.

Police did not name the suspects and declined to give further details.
