Ineffectiveness of Justice in Sports

October 9, 2025

The ineffectiveness of the justice system in sports was highlighted in a meeting of the parliamentary committee on Institutions. Out of 20 investigations by the Ethics and Sports Protection Committee since 2021, there have been no convictions for serious offenses. The penalties imposed are related only to misdemeanors and fines. Although the law concerning sports event manipulation allows for prison sentences, it seems not to have been implemented. Most of the investigated cases have either been archived or are at an early investigation stage and do not involve serious violations.
