The Malta Football Association has suspended Emmanuel Briffa and Kyle Cesare, two players in Malta’s Under 21 team after having been informed by the police that they will be arraigned in connection with the matchs played against Montenegro and the Czech Republic.
They will face match fixing charges.
Court action is also being taken against Ronnie Mackay, a soldier.
The case had been exclusively revealed by Times of Malta on May 9.
The charges come in the wake of the admission by 21-year-old footballer Seyble Zammit who last month faced match-fixing charges but was exempted from punishment by a court after spilling the beans on the scandal.
