Organised crime has ‘infiltrated’ NRL, police probe finds
DRUGS, suspicious betting, money laundering and prostitution is rife within the National Rugby League, an exhaustive NSW Police investigation has found.
Detectives from Strike Force Nuralda, which was formed to look into claims of match fixing, recently met with NRL officials to warn them that organised crime had infiltrated the game.
The NSW Organised Crime Squad’s final report, released today, reveals that it has uncovered “suspicious betting behaviour” within the league, including the supply of “inside information” for gambling purposes, which is an illegal act punishable by up to two years’ jail.

The probe found that organised crime figures had provided players with prostitutes and cocaine, and encouraged them to supply inside information that could be used to bet on games, The Daily Telegraph reports.
However, the strike force did not find that games were rigged.
Detectives also uncovered evidence of drug supplying and money laundering, but these offences did not relate directly to the NRL.
The investigators will not lay charges for any of the illegal practices uncovered, but they have referred matters to other members of the Organised Crime Squad and the financial intelligence regulator AUSTRAC for further investigation.
“While detectives have not preferred criminal charges relating to these issues, their investigation highlighted activities and practices that are deemed as high risk for the NRL,” NSW Police said in a statement.
“In light of this information, representatives of Strike Force Nuralda have recently met with the NRL and provided recommendations to ensure the integrity of the code is not compromised by the infiltration of organised crime.”
The inquiry was sparked in October 2015, when police received allegations of illegal gambling and match-fixing within the NRL.
Investigations stepped up a gear after the NRL and betting agencies referred on evidence of suspicious betting on a match between Parramatta and Manly in April 2016.
Since then, police have examined 46,000 pages of betting data, 300 pages of data from AUSTRAC and more than 1000 pages of telecommunications data.
Detectives identified 13 potential persons of interest and spoke with 161 witnesses including players, referees, NRL staff, professional punters and associates of the persons of interest.
Some players were interrogated in secret statutory hearings undertaken by the NSW Crime Commission.
The strike force found punters — including players and former players — who would normally bet about $50 on a game were wagering up to $15,000, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Police have not named any of the players involved in any of the suspected criminal acts.
The investigation also looked at the practice ofpoint shaving — where strong teams or significant players within teams who are expected to win by big margins, pull back to only win by small margins — but it did not find that it had occurred.

Re: Organised crime has ‘infiltrated’ NRL, police probe finds
Let me guess
The fumblers don't think any AFl players have links with crims or underworld characters
Oh dear
Do some research before you throw shit at another sport .
Reality is most sportspeople are not real bright
They make dumb choices
Hang around people they shouldn't
But they do
Lol
But in bizarro world where some her reside ..it's only a RL problem .

You do know the accusations have been proven to be untrue ..no charges .
Yet you think accusations are a form of guilt .
No sane person can be that dumb .

And now that they have been mentioned: Hasn't Rusty Martin's old man been deported to NZ due to his underworld connections?
And what about that paragon of virtue Bob Cousins??
'A GANGLAND murder investigation has linked Ben Cousins to an accused killer.
Police yesterday revealed in court recent surveillance had uncovered Cousins' connection to accused underworld murderer Angelo Mario Venditti.'
Remember him Freddy???? Lolollolololololololl.

Why did the police form a team and investigate this situation? Given how under staffed they are and the expense it would have costed, it wouldn’t have taken place for no frighten reason

That's what police do ...investigate if they think there's been a crime committed .
If committed they press charges .
No charges were laid .
So no crime committed .
What don't you understand about this .

So what is story here .
Young men with lots of money & not many brains spend their money on gambling... drugs .prostitutes .& hang around criminal types ..
