Three footballers were paid cash by Far Eastern businessmen as part of a conspiracy to fix non-league matches, a court heard.
Michael Boateng, Hakeen Adelakun and Moses Swaibu were all playing in the Conference South when the offences allegedly took place last November.
It is claimed the trio conspired with Singapore-based Chann Sankaran, 33, and Krishna Ganeshan, 43, to alter the results of games .
Birmingham Crown Court was told Swaibu, 24, was paid £2,446 and Whitehawk FC pair Boateng and Adelakun, both 22, each received £367.
Jurors heard the three footballers were “willing recruits” in the conspiracy - which was described as a “Goldilocks scenario”.
Prosecutor Robert Davies said in lower leagues “investors use the minimum level of bribe to get the maximum betting return”. Full story...
