Sports journalist David Faitelson has claimed that revelations continue to come to light, suggesting that not only seven football players are involved in corruption in football. Although he did not name names, he assured that more cases will be exposed soon.
Recalling a previous incident with Atlante and two of its players, Faitelson mentioned that Eduardo Relfis's statements about his teammate in the team's defense triggered a series of investigations. This led to the discovery of an alleged match-fixing involving Raúl Arias.
The issue of corruption in Mexican football has gained relevance recently with new evidence emerging. Players from lower leagues have been sanctioned for manipulating match results, which, according to Faitelson, points to the presence of a criminal network behind these acts.
Conversations among some football players that were publicly exposed highlighted match-fixing aimed at benefiting from sports betting. Faitelson interviewed a goalkeeper from the Real Apodaca team, who admitted his involvement in such practices, resulting in a two-year suspension for him.
Faitelson has thoroughly investigated cases of corruption in Mexican football, focusing on teams like Real Apodaca and the controversies stemming from their actions in a recent match. In addition to Premier MX League, teams from the Expansion League have been pointed out for participating in these illicit activities, generating a scandal in national sports.
