Greek cyber-crime police officers say they have arrested a 19-year-old for managing an illegal online gambling site.

According to reports, the suspect provided information on his website in exchange for money regarding soccer matches that he claimed had been fixed.

Police seized an internal hard drive and cell phone from the suspects residence which will be examined by the Criminal Investigation Directorate as the case file is processed by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Athens Court of First Instance.

The suspect was reportedly arrested last week in his home in Athens after a police raid. The case file has been submitted to an Athens prosecutor.
