UEFA Slaps €50K Fine on Zlatan Ibrahimović for Bethard Stakes

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has fined mercurial Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović for €50,000 on his financial stakes in the Malta-based online betting company Bethard Group.

The Appeals Body of UEFA has examined the investigation report and pronounced the judgement on the penalty for violating ‘Article 12’ of European football’s ‘Disciplinary Regulations’. The appeals body also ordered the player to immediately cut short his links with the betting company.

The investigation was launched last month following reports about Ibrahimović’s shares in Bethard, reportedly worth 10% of the total stakes.
