Soccer Team Owner Extradited To Athens After Fleeing Greece



Soccer team owner and businessman Makis Psomiadis, who is currently in a prison in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) is apparently going to be handed over to Greek authorities today by Interpol officials and following this will stand trial in Athens.

Psomiadis was caught in Skopje, capital of FYROM, in November 2011 a few weeks after fleeing Greece. One month earlier, a magistrate had charged Psomiadis with being at the center of a large match-fixing ring.

The owner of Kavala soccer team denies any connection to the match-fixing ring, which is alleged to have made millions of euros by betting on the outcome of soccer games which various officials and players colluded to fix.
