MADRID (AP) — The Spanish football federation is investigating match-fixing claims involving seven lower-tier players.
The RFEF said it was investigating after being alerted by UEFA authorities.
The league will also investigate Las Palmas' 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano in the Segunda Division last season.
Of the seven players, only goalkeeper Javier Lopez is currently playing topflight football, with Real Zaragoza. The other players are: Francisco Suarez (Gramenet), Mario Gomez (Alcorcon), Juan Carlos Ceballos (Cordoba), Raul Lucha Hurtado (Amposta), Francisco Medina Luna (Rayo) and Javier Monteys (Gramenet).
Players could be banned for life or fined if guilty. Clubs could have points deducted, face relegation or also be fined up to €30,051 ($45,371).
