The former head of an international crime investigation unit has claimed Premier League players are guilty of match-fixing.

Fredrik Gardare, who led a Swedish police unit targeting organised crime in sport, claims crucial evidence, uncovered in a casino raid, has been ignored.

The bombshell revelation leaves the FA facing serious questions over how widespread the issue is and whether sanctions will be pursued.

Daily Mail Sport understands that the FA have not received the investigation’s findings from Swedish police and are keen to assess them.

Among Gardare’s previous cases included an 18-month investigation exposing ex-Manchester City midfielder Dickson Etuhu of bribery for attempting to fix matches in Sweden.
