FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - A third-division player arrested in Germany's match-fixing scandal has admitted trying to bribe a goalkeeper to throw a game, his lawyer said Tuesday.
The player, Chemnitz's Steffen Karl, was released late Monday after three days in custody.
During interrogation, Karl told Berlin authorities investigating the scandal that he offered between $20,000 and $26,800 to goalkeeper Georg Koch, who was then playing for second-division Cottbus, lawyer Andreas Bartholome said.
