The ICC- International Cricket Council has been involved in talks with the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) to boost co-operation in fighting corruption in sport. the chairman of the ICC's anti-corruption and security unit said that the director general of Interpol made contact with them. So they were expected to explore is a memorandum of understanding, and so they can mutually cooperate and work together to end corrouption in teworld of sport.
Earlier, FIFA, the governing body for football announced that it would vow US$29 million to Interpol each year in upcoming next ten years to deal with corruption in football. However, Flanagan said the ICC didn't have the money to finance investigations. They don't have money to spend, so they can mutually cooperate and work together, but not to the extent that they have any money to pay them to do investigations for us. Unfortunately, investigations themselves fall back to our unit.
Flanagan admitted there was also threat to domestic matches could be affected by corruption, as they were given the increased scrutiny of international fixtures. At a World Sports Law Report conference, Flanagan called for greater co-operation between sports associations to battle the problem of corruption.
The director of anti-corrouption unit of ICC, said that he is pretty certain that the bad guys within the sports and the nasty criminals, people outside those sports don't necessarily imprison themselves to one sport. So as they move across the barriers, across different sports, the sport faternity must ensure they cooperate even more closely together. He quoted that they must share intelligence, share methodology, share experiences.
Most recently, the Pakistan trio - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were banned for five and ten years after an ICC tribunal found them guilty of spot-fixing during the Lord's Test against England last year.
