Sportradar report makes Ferj investigate suspicious bets in Madureira x Macaé

The Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Ferj) sent last Thursday (29), a request for an investigation into the alleged manipulation of the result in Madureira's 4-2 victory over Macaé, for the 10th round of the Guanabara Cup, on April 17, of the Carioca Championship. Sportradar's report indicated suspicious movement of bets in the number of goals in the first half and at the end of the match.

The case is handed over to the Police Station for the Suppression of Crimes Against Immaterial Property (DRCPIM). The Rio de Janeiro Sports Court also received a copy of the report sent to the Police and will analyze the case.

The report of about 20 pages - which narrates the game's bids and mentions players involved - produced by Sportradar indicates suspicious movement in the volume of bets according to the bids of the game. The data company was hired by Ferj to monitor abnormal fluctuations in the betting market involving the Carioca championship.

The document handed over to the Police cites the possibility of previous knowledge of bettors in match events - for example, there was a non-standard volume of bets on defeat by at least two Macaé goals in the first stage (the first half ended 2-0), then that Madureira opened the scoring after 7 minutes. The second goal came in extra time.

Another case under analysis in the report concerns the number of goals in the game. The bettors predicted - in volume also above the usual, according to the Sportradar report - that there would be at least four goals in the final score. Macaé tied the match with goals in the first and third minutes of the second half and Madureira completed the score 4-2 with goals at 15 and 27 of the final leg.
