Tottenham right back Pascal Chimbonda was last night named as the
footballer arrested as part of an investigation into corruption in
the game.
Chimbonda was reportedly taken into custody on Monday on suspicion
of conspiracy to defraud.
He was bailed until October.
The football investigative team from teh City of London police
carried out the questioning. The unit is said to wanted to keep
Chimbonda's arrest private.
Both Spurs and Chimbonda's previous club. Wigan, have refused to
comment on the matter.
It is expected detectives will move quickly to make further
high-profile arrests.
Chimbonda's agent, Willie McKay, reportedly said 'I had a call from
Pascal this morning and he told me he'd answered some police
questions but its nothing.'
A report by Lord Stevens last June detailed 17 transfers which his
team expressed doubts over.
