An Istanbul prosecutor is seeking one to three years of jail time for Nigerian forward Emanuel Emenike, for alleged involvement in match-fixing during his time in Turkey, Hurriyet informs.
Prosecutor Ufuk Ermertcan yesterday demanded the sentence for the Spartak Moscow player, who spent an ill-fated six week period at Fenerbahçe during the 2010-2011 Super League season.
According to the landmark match-fixing case indictment, it was alleged that Fenerbahçe officials had fixed that season’s match against Karabükspor, demanding that Karabükspor not name Emekine in its teams and that he be transferred to Fenerbahçe after the match.
After the match-fixing investigation became public on July 3, 2011, Emenike spent a number of nights at the police station, and demanded a transfer from the club soon after being released.
