ROME — Italian police said Tuesday they have arrested Serbian footballer Almir Gegic, who has been wanted since June 2011 for alleged involvement in a widespread match-fixing case. After more than a year on the run, Gegic turned himself in. On Tuesday, police released a video of his arrival at Milan's Malpensa airport late Monday. Gegic was brought to a jail in Cremona, where prosecutor Roberto Di Martino's match-fixing inquiry is based. More than 50 people have been arrested so far and more than 100 are under investigation. Gegic was allegedly a link between the fixing ring's base in Asia and Italian footballers. He was charged with criminal association and sports fraud and could be interrogated by the end of the week. Gegic played for Vicenza in Italy from 1998-2000. He also played for some Turkish clubs, and was most recently with Chiasso in Switzerland from 2007-11. “The magistrates have done a great job. They've uncovered all of the fixed matches — at least the ones I bet on,” Gegic told the Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview before leaving Serbia which was published Tuesday. — AP
