Former Nigerian international who also played for Manchester City, Dickson Etuhu has been found guilty of match-fixing.
The 37-year-old Etuhu was said to have attempted to conspire in the company of another man to offer former team-mate Kyriakos “Kenny” Stamatopoulos money to fix a game between AIK and IFK Gothenburg back in spring 2017.
“What preceded the meeting and what was said at the meeting must be seen in a context. In the opinion of the court, Kenny Stam has clearly been offered an improper benefit,” the Court Of Appeal in Stockholm said in its judgement published on Wednesday.

Etuhu played for Nigeria at the 2010 world cup in South African and played for Manchester City, Norwich, Sunderland, Fulham and Blackburn in the premier league.
