The FACR has been dealing with the appointment of a panel of judges since the second half of October after a corruption scandal broke out around the former vice-president of the association, Roman Berbr. The affair mainly concerns the alleged influence of results through judges.

Shortly after the outbreak of the affair, the Executive Committee dismissed a panel of judges headed by Jozef Chovanec and appointed a temporary one. Tomáš Bárta, a representative of the League Football Association, remained in it, and the other members are regular expert Jiří Kureš and the chairman of the judges in the steering committee for Moravia, Jan Zahradníček.

“I can confirm that the FACR management, or its chairman Martin Malík, has been debating this topic – the newly born panel of judges – for several weeks. The results of this meeting will be announced after the next executive committee meeting, ie on Tuesday evening,” media Jurman.

20 people are being prosecuted in the corruption case in football. The highest-ranking person Berbr has been in custody since October on suspicion of influencing results and also betting fraud. The affair has so far affected the second and third leagues. According to police wiretaps, Berbr also contacted judge Pavel Královec before the July final of the domestic cup between Liberec and Sparta (1: 2), who was withdrawn from the list of judges by the end of the year last week.
