UEFA has asked police to investigate 15 football matches over allegations they were fixed, officials have confirmed.Asian betting syndicates are said to have pocketed millions of Euros through rigged games. But the UEFA has denied claims Euro 2008 qualifiers are part of a match-fixing investigation, but revealed doubts over one Intertoto Cup match were so serious it was referred to their disciplinary committee.
European football's governing body confirmed it is continuing investigations with Europol, into 15 matches played this season which may have been fixed.UEFA, the governing body of European football, has given Europol - which investigates international organised crime - a list of the suspect matches.
It is thought 15 of the suspect games were played during the current season with the other 11 taking place between July 2005 and November 2006. The matches mostly involved teams from eastern and southern Europe - notably Bulgaria, Georgia, Serbia and Croatia - but also the Baltic states in the north.
