A convicted match-fixer once traveled to Norway with cash to manipulate a game involving Sandefjord, but the plan fell through, according to AP. A document read in court on Thursday quotes Ante Sapina as telling investigators he traveled to Norway in October 2009 to meet with an assistant coach and players of Sandefjord carrying between ¤60,000 ($79,278) and ¤70,000 ($92,491) in cash. The club lost to Stabeak IF 3-1 but Sapina says the outcome was not fixed. Sapina is testifying as a witness at a trial of four men charged with fraud in a match-fixing case. He was convicted of match-fixing in 2005 and served prison time.
