Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 7:28 pmUefa is investigating 40 cases of match-fixing involving Champions League and Uefa Cup matchesPeter Limacher, head of disciplinary services at Uefa said the cases involved early qualifying matches of clubs "mainly from eastern Europe" over the last four years.
Limacher said Uefa had been alerted to suspicious betting patterns.
"In the cases we have seen it's really the deliberate planned fix of the games - the whole games.
"It might take some time (to convict) but in cases where we can work together with the police that might be possible."
He said most of the clubs being investigated sought to make a profit from betting because they knew they would be eliminated.
