Legal procedure initiated

The European Handball Federation has committed itself to take all allegations of undue influence attempts with the utmost seriousness. After the first allegations have been disclosed by international media, the EHF has stepped into action in a number of ways, including internal investigations in the matter.

The EHF has researched the matter by sending out questionnaires to all referees and delegates active in the past four seasons of EHF competitions. The EHF has analysed the situation based on the answers for these questionnaires and based on information provided upon individual requests.

As a result, the official in charge, “Initiator of Proceedings”, initiated legal steps in the following six cases:

* 2005/2006 Women’s Champions League group matches
Lada Togliatti (RUS) vs Slagelse (DEN) on 21 January 2006

* 2005/06 Men’s Cup Winner’s Cup Final, 2nd leg
Chehovski Medvedi (RUS) vs CBM Valladolid (ESP) on April 29, 2006

* 2006/2007 Women’s Champions League quarterfinal, 2nd leg
Lada Togliatti (RUS) vs Viborg (DEN) on 25 March 2007

* 2007/2008 Women’s Champions League Final, 1st leg
Zvezda Zvenigorod (RUS) vs Hypo Niederösterreich (AUT) on 17 May 2008

* 2009 World Championship qualification play-off match, 2nd leg
Romania vs Montenegro on 14 June 2008

* 2008/09 Men’s Champions League group match
Metalurg Skopje (MKD) vs FC Barcelona (ESP) on 08 November 2008

The President of the EHF Arbitration Tribunal is currently appointing the tribunal members to deal with all of these cases. At the same time, the parties involved will be requested to submit their statements with their observations related to the games in question.

The investigation into these cases aims to clarify both the possible circumstances of any manipulation attempt and the advantage taken from it on a sports level.

The EHF will ensure open communication on the legal process and the findings of the EHF Arbitration Tribunal will be published as soon as they are available.

Champions League Final 2007 - Proceedings to be initiated

The European Handball Federation has...

* On 20 March 2009, in order to ensure adequate representation before the German legal authorities and secure the rights of the EHF in case of a legal action, the EHF appointed a lawyer in Germany. With the mediation of the lawyer, the EHF asked for an insight to the legal documents of the German State Prosecution. According to the information received on 7 April 2009, the EHF is expected to be allowed access to the documents next week.

* In order to guarantee that the EHF will be able to initiate a disciplinary process, the “Initiator of Proceedings” is constantly kept up-to-date. Upon receipt of information from the State Prosecutor, the procedure will be started. This formal act will happen before 29 April 2009, which is within two years time from the game in question. This step is necessary in order to prevent the statute of limitations from expiring.

* Today on 9 April 2009, the clubs involved, THW Kiel and SG Flensburg-Handewitt, are informed on the procedures.

The European Handball Federation, in the interest of the purity of the game, rejects all illegal practices in sports and will explore all legal means.
