The TFF Legal Consultancy has referred 448 individuals who have served in the Süper Lig and the 1. Lig over the last 5 years to the PFDK on the grounds of "placing bets."
Regarding the matter, Ertuğrul Doğan stated: "I am a straightforward person. This is my 9th year in management. Previously, such issues were not on the agenda.
In meetings held by the TFF in the past, they would inform players, referees, or coaches, but there was no such notification for managers.
It is a separate matter that managers should know this. There is absolutely no intent or any such situation here. I had an account that was closed long before these events.
However, these companies were sponsors of the clubs. Since there was no ill intent, no one thought that such a problem would arise from this. If there was a mistake or a shortcoming on our part, please forgive us. But there is no ill intent."
