Spelinspektionen representative chairs Council of Europe match-fixing group
Samuel Wahlberg, who coordinates operations against match-fixing at Sweden’s Spelinspektionen, has been elected chair of the Group of Copenhagen. The Council of Europe advisory network supports national platforms working to prevent manipulation of sports events; Wahlberg said he would promote ratification of the Macolin Convention and the creation of more national platforms.
Wahlberg’s role could shape international coordination on measures addressing match-fixing risks relevant to betting markets.
