The NSW Police Force has launched an investigation following a review of information into reported cheating at gambling and match-fixing in the National Rugby League, NSW Police say.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Organised Crime Squad have launched Strike Force Nuralda to investigate the matters and determine if any criminal offences have been committed.
Police will work closely with the NSW Crime Commission, and have the full support of the NRL.
The investigation is expected to be protracted, with dozens of players, officials, and members of the community expected to be interviewed in the coming months.
No further information is available at this time.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers.
