Police are appealing for information following allegations of match-fixing in a recent National Basketball League game.

Basketball NZ contacted police last week with concerns about suspicious betting activity relating to a specific game.

'Police are well aware of the potential risk that match-fixing and other related activity can have on the integrity of sporting competition,” says National manager, Financial Crime Group, detective superintendent Iain Chapman.

'Police routinely work alongside several key experts and representatives of the sporting community to identify acts of match-fixing and other criminal behaviour.

"We aim to grow effective information sharing processes between sporting codes and law enforcement."

'Police take match-fixing allegations seriously and are committed to ensuring New Zealand sport is corruption-free.

"We encourage all those involved in sport who have information about criminal behaviour to contact police.”

Anyone with information about this matter is urged to contact Police at sportintegrity@police.govt.nz or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
