Former AC Milan and Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has been placed under investigation for match-fixing and four more people have been arrested in an early morning police sweep in Italy.
Cremon prosecutor Roberto Di Martino, who has been leading the Last Bet operation for three years, confirmed to The Associated Press that Gattuso and retired Lazio player Cristian Brocchi allegedly were part of a ring that fixed Serie A and other Italian matches at the end of the 2010-11 season.
The four people arrested are Salvatore Spadaro, Francesco Bazzani, Cosimo Rinci and Fabio Quadri; each of whom allegedly helped connect fixers to players.

More than 50 people have been arrested in Italy for match-fixing since mid-2011, with matches under investigation by prosecutors in Cremona, Bari and Naples.
Gatusso was one of Milan’s most recognisable players of the last decade and won 73 caps for Italy.
The 35-year-old has also played for Rangers and was sacked as manager of Palermo in September.
Italian police have launched a ‘calcioscommesse’ investigation into illegal betting, a problem which is not new to Serie A.
In 2006, Juventus were relegated to Serie B for their involvement in the highest profile betting scandal to hit the game, with Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina also investigated.
