A report released last spring, from the Swiss company Sportradar (which monitors games across Europe), showed that Sweden is Europe's third most vulnerable country for match fixing. And they say nothing indicates that it is about to get better.

- Globally, Swedish football is seen as a very big risk, and it is based on the number of matches we have discovered on an annual basis. It is quite clear that the match fixing syndicates have gained a foothold in Sweden, and they have operated there for a number of years. And it's clear that the problem is growing, says Tom Mace, international head of security work at Sportradar, and continues:

- An important point to emphasize is that there are several teams involved in this. Not only is there an isolated case with some single team, but there are several teams at different levels. Most work for different match fixing syndicates responsible for match fixing cases.

Professor Declan Hill has written the award-winning book "The Fix", where he infiltrated Asian match fixing syndicates. He is known as one of the world's leading experts in match fixing, and explains to SVT Sport that Sweden is a terrifying example when it comes to the work against match fixing.

- The general Swedish attitude towards this problem has been blurred, it has been arrogant and contrary to what one thinks it should be in Sweden, he says.

- Sweden is a European horror example when it comes to match fixing. It's a nightmare. Is it as bad as in Italy? Is it as bad as Greece and Azerbaijan? In some cases it is, in some cases not. But I, and I suppose it applies to our viewers as well, want to argue that the Swedish government, economy and basic social morals in Sweden are not as bad as in Italy, Greece and Azerbaijan - but the number of match fixing cases is comparable to how are in these countries.

Declan Hill does not speak the words when he says what he thinks about what it looks like in Sweden.

- It's scandalous! It is ridiculous! It is not reasonable for you to have a systematic problem with corruption in sports in Sweden.

The current Swedish general secretary of the Swedish Football Association Håkan Sjöstrand does not agree that the football association has been arrogant, but admits that it was previously lacking the necessary insight to be able to do everything right.

- Looking back over time, we were, both in football and other sports, so we did not want to see these problems. But as we lift the lid and say that the problems exist, I feel that awareness is increasing, he says.
