LONDON (AP) Two players from the sixth tier of English football were charged on Thursday with conspiring to fix matches as part of an investigation into a suspected Singapore-based international betting syndicate.
The National Crime Agency released a statement saying that prosecutors have found sufficient evidence to charge Michael Boateng and Hakeem Adelakun, who both play for Conference South team Whitehawk FC, "with conspiracy to defraud."
They were bailed to appear at Birmingham Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
They are the third and fourth men to be charged in the wake of an undercover operation by Britain's Daily Telegraph, with Chann Sankaran and Krishna Sanjey Ganeshan currently in police custody and scheduled to appear at Birmingham Crown Court next week.
A total of seven people were arrested as part of the investigation.
