• Bookmaker Sanjeev Chawla has been arrested in London following an extradition request from India relating to fixing cricket matches between India and South Africa from 16 February to March 20, 2000, reports The Indian Express. The case dates back to the first major match-fixing scandal in cricket when Delhi Police intercepted a conversation between Chawla and Hansie Cronje in which the South African cricket captain accepted an offer of money to lose matches. “The arrest was made following the Indian government’s extradition request”, a Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson told the newspaper. “Chawla’s case will be heard at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on 3 October”.
