Midfielder Lukas Paketa, who plays for England's West Ham team, may be fined by the local football authorities. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to The Athletic, the player was found not guilty in a match-fixing case in July, but is accused of not cooperating with the investigation. Written grounds for responsibility will be announced this week.
The maximum penalty amount is 172 thousand euros, which corresponds to the Brazilian player's weekly salary. Additionally, it will soon be clarified whether Paketa will receive compensation from the English Football Association for legal costs.
This compensation could be approximately 1.1 million euros. Since this situation may affect the player's career, the team and fans are closely monitoring it.
Such situations in football serve to strengthen the principles of fairness and integrity.
