Hvidovre is at the center of a spectacular match-fixing scandal, with prosecutors alleging that parts of the Hvidovre team intentionally lost games to make money from the matches. The case involves two football matches in the 1st division in 2010, both of which Hvidovre lost. The prosecution believes that the main defendant, MT, and the others involved in the case earned up to 900,000 kroner from the two fixed football matches. MT is charged with gross fraud, while a 26-year-old man, NN, is charged with helping to fix the matches. Hvidovre's former goalkeeper is also charged in the case. The verdict will likely be decisive for what happens to their charges. In one of the matches, Hvidovre lost to FC Hjørring with a score of 4-2. According to the prosecution, it was agreed that the four players would ensure that at least four goals were scored against Hvidovre's goalkeeper. MT told the police that 'all goals were scored on corner kicks, or because the goalkeeper lay down'. In the other match, Hvidovre lost to Vejle, and it was allegedly agreed that Hvidovre would lose the match by at least two goals. The match ended 5-0 in Vejle's favor. Both MT and NN risk imprisonment if they are found guilty. They both deny any wrongdoing. The case has had a somewhat bumpy course, as it was initially supposed to be a confession case, because MT confessed to his actions to the police. But before the trial, he withdrew his confession and has through his defender told that he felt pressured to confess by the police, because the police, according to MT, promised him protection if he gave them evidence in the match-fixing case. MT has previously told Berlingske that he was attacked in his apartment by two men in the summer of 2012. He said that they hit him in the face and threatened him with a knife. The message was that he should pay around 900,000 kroner to an Asian gambling company, and that he was not allowed to go to the police. It is not just any verdict that is expected to be delivered in the Copenhagen City Court later today. For the first time ever, a verdict will be delivered in a criminal case involving match-fixing. The prosecution believes that parts of the Hvidovre team intentionally lost games to make money from the matches. And this is what makes the case so spectacular. Hvidovre has not commented on the case publicly, but it is clear that the case has consequences for the club. Hvidovre plays in the 1st division, and a case like this can have an impact on the club's reputation and future. So it is important that the case is handled properly and that justice is upheld.
