Popular England footballer DJ Campbell has also been arrested for his involvement in a match fixing scandal. Below is a report culled from the Daily Mail Uk

"Blackburn striker DJ Campbell is the biggest name yet to be arrested in the match-fixing scandal that has rocked English football. Blackburn confirmed on Monday that 32-year-old Campbell, who has played in the Premier League with Birmingham, Blackpool and QPR, is one of six men arrested. Five of the six including Campbell - have been bailed until April next year. A club statement read: 'Following reports in today's national media, Blackburn Rovers can confirm that striker DJ Campbell has been arrested. The club will be making no further comment
on what is now an ongoing legal matter.' According to The Sun, part of the investigation is focusing on Campbell's booking for a tackle on Ipswich's Aaron Cresswell in the Championship match last Tuesday. Campbell was shown a yellow card for the tackle by referee Fred Graham in the match that Ipswich won 3-1 at Portman Road."

Also arrested with Campbell are Oldham striker Christian Montano, 21, Tranmere defender Ian Goodison, 41, Sam Sodje, 34, and his brother Akpo, 33, who also plays for
Tranmere.

Investigation is still going however and the outcome should be able to make players stare away from this damaging act.
