‼️The Turkish FA have announced that they are investigating a total of 371 referees after finding that they all held gambling accounts.
Out of those 371 referees, who are all active within the Turkish domestic pyramid, 152 were actively gambling.
Seven referees involved in the scandal are 'upper-class' officials, meaning that they are eligible to officiate matches in the Turkish Super Lig.
One of the referees placed a staggering 18,227 bets, while 42 of the referees each placed bets on over 1,000 football matches.
The maximum punishment for violating the TFF's regulations on gambling is a one-year ban from all football-related activities.
