State Police have arrested 11 people they suspect were involved in fixing football matches in the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia's Prosecutor's Office said on Monday.

Police are currently conducting raids at five locations throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the towns of Samac, Orasje and Novi Travnik.

The alleged crimes are related to illegal activities by football managers, officials at Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Football Association and referees.

“The investigation found that the suspects repeatedly requested and received certain sums of money in order to influence a favourable result for a particular football club,” the Prosecutor's Office said.
