Daniele Bracciali, tennis player from Italy has partially admitted that he commited match-fixing during a hearing last week with judicial authorities according to a judicial prosecutor.
Italian investigator Roberto Di Martino said during an interview with The Associated Press,"He admitted a few things and he denied a few things."
Bracciali and occasional doubles partner Potito Starace is battling corruption accusations after intercepted Internet conversations claiming they sold matches were reported in Italian media 3 weeks ago.
Both of them were already included in the 5 Italians, along with Alessio Di Mauro, Giorgio Galimberti and Federico Luzzi that were suspended in 2007-08 by the ATP Tour ranging from 6 weeks to 9 months for betting.
The intercepted conversations are part of data that investigators led by Di Martino in Cremona have been sorting through in a soccer match-fixing inquiry. The soccer inquiry has already reached Singapore, and the tennis inquiry of the investigation is also extending in other countries.
