Brazilian Lucas Paquetá was indicted this Thursday by the English Football Association for misconduct related to sports betting. The West Ham athlete from England allegedly forced cards to be received on four different occasions, with the aim of benefiting the betting market.
The player was charged with four breaches of FA Rule E5.1 in relation to his conduct at West Ham’s Premier League games. The matches would be against Leicester City, on November 12, 2022; Aston Villa on March 12, 2023; Leeds United on May 21, 2023; and Bournemouth on August 12, 2023.
“It is alleged that he sought to directly influence the progress, conduct or any other aspect or occurrence in these matches by intentionally seeking to receive a card from the referee with the improper purpose of affecting the betting market so that one or more people could profit,” said the FA in an official statement.
