Sevilla defender Salas directed and acted as a yellow card to win money, charged with fraud

La Liga scandals were exposed. Sevilla's 23-year-old central defender Keke Salas (Jackie Salas) is reportedly suspected of intentional yellow cards and other behaviors. He made profits through his early illegal betting by a local sports data agency. It was exposed that it was found abnormal. Now Salas and two other accomplices are facing charges of fraud. According to reports from local Spanish media, Salas was taken away during training at Seville's training base in January this year for investigation, and his transfer transaction of Lazio (Lasu), who could have transferred to Serie A, was also suspended. Salas was accused of deliberately receiving yellow cards in at least 5 games in the mid-2023/24 season, including a match between Sevilla and Barcelona in La Liga. He received a yellow card in the 36th minute of the game and then made a profit by illegal betting with his accomplices.

According to local personnel investigating Salas's communication records, key evidence was obtained. For example, Sevilla vs. Las Penlmas in La Liga on April 14, 2024, last year, and there were many illegal bets with specific events in the game, and the predictions were all accurate.

It is said that Salas himself is also quite cunning. He uses third-party accounts and uses cash transactions, but he ultimately cannot escape the monitoring of sports data institutions. According to the investigation, in addition to the main person involved, nearly 10 insiders participated. According to local law, Salas faces three years in prison, but can receive a partial commutation of sentence if a settlement is reached with relevant parties.
