Interpol is looking at a possible tie-up with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Indian board to help fight the growing menace of match-fixing and illegal betting.
The proposal was made by Interpol Secretary-General Ronald Noble during a meeting in New Delhi with officials of India’s Central Bureau of Investigation and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Noble said Interpol already had an agreement with Fifa to promote integrity in the sport.
“We’d be happy if we can implement a similar agreement with the BCCI and the ICC,” said Noble. In May, Fifa agreed to provide $20 million to Interpol over a 10-year period in an effort to tackle match-fixing.
