Turkey Orders Arrest of 17 Referees, Club President in Betting Probe

Imagine a big soccer game in Turkey.

Some people who help make sure the game is fair, called referees, are in trouble.

Prosecutors in Turkey think some referees and even the boss of a soccer club have been betting on soccer games.

They also think some of these referees might have tried to change the results of games on purpose.

Because of this, the prosecutors have asked for 21 people, including 17 referees, to be arrested.

This is separate from another action where the soccer association already banned many referees for betting.

The head of the soccer association is calling it a 'moral crisis' and says a lot of referees have betting accounts.
