Turn in the case of the record penalty for FAČR: the punishment for footballer Hladík for match-fixing stands

The Prague High Court upheld the punishment of footballer Michal Hladík for match-fixing, reversing an earlier ruling that had annulled the sanction. Hladík's initial punishment included a twelve-year ban and a hefty fine, later reduced to four years and a smaller fine by the FAČR's appeals committee. Hladík challenged the decision in court, but the High Court ruled that it cannot review the FAČR's decisions. Hladík's lawyer is considering an appeal to the Supreme Court. Additionally, Hladík is implicated in ongoing investigations related to match manipulation, which he denies.
