A man has been arrested on suspicion of allegedly trying to bribe a professional League of Ireland football player during the current season.
The man in his 30s was arrested on Tuesday (October 1) by specialist officers from the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Unit of the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB).
The individual was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at a Garda Station in the Western Region.
He has since been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
"The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Unit remains committed to safeguarding the integrity of sport in Ireland and continues to work closely with all relevant stakeholders," gardaí said in a statement.
"An Garda Síochána continues to appeal to anyone with information regarding match-fixing or sports corruption to report it in confidence via the Bribery and Corruption Confidential Reporting line at 1800 40 60 80, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or at their local Garda Station".
