After the meeting between Björklöven and Mora, which was played on December 14, an investigation was started regarding match-fixing.
Mora turned a 0-3 deficit into 8-4 and won in Västerbotten.
During the course of the match, one could see "mysterious odds movements" and Svenska Spel stopped the live game for that reason and an investigation into match-fixing was initiated.
- It is clear that you become thoughtful, what has happened?
But at the same time, I do not think there are so many in the team who think it was actually match-fixing, said Mora's assistant team captain Adam Masuhr to SVT Sport a few days ago.
And now it is clear that the Swedish Ice Hockey Association will close the investigation.
"The incident is based on a human error"
- The investigation finds that the incident is based on a human error and it feels satisfying that we have not found any indications of match-fixing.
Even though hockey has largely been spared from match-fixing, this is a reminder that we must constantly work to be prepared for the issue, which is one of the biggest threats to sports, says the association's competition director Olof Östblom in the press release.
- We are grateful for the cooperation that was carried out during the investigation.
Everyone involved has taken the time to gather as much information as possible to make wise decisions and it feels good that we can now close the investigation without further suspicion, says Abbe Törsleff, the union's security chief.
SVT Sport has applied for Svenska Spel.
