Criminal investigators say 20 current and former footballers in Austria have been interrogated for their alleged involvement in fixing at least 17 league matches, including nine in the country's top-flight division, since 2004.
Investigators said on Thursday house searches were conducted in Vienna, Lower-Austria, Carinthia and Salzburg.
All first division games under suspicion include either Kapfenberg or Groedig - both former clubs of Dominique Taboga, who was arrested Wednesday for his alleged attempt to manipulate games after he claimed former international Sanel Kuljic had talked him into match-fixing to settle a personal debt.
Without identifying the players questioned, investigators say they obtained a list with 26 footballers' names on it from two Albanian men, who were arrested last week for allegedly coordinating the fixing.
