He Used Fake Accounts to Bet on Himself to Get Yellow Cards: New Evidence Against Sevilla Player Kike Salas

  • Sevilla defender Kike Salas faced arrest on January 14, 2025, over allegations of betting on himself to receive yellow cards during matches in Spain.
  • Suspicions emerged in the 2023/24 season after authorities noticed a pattern of seemingly deliberate bookings in low-stakes games involving Salas.
  • Investigators extracted WhatsApp messages from Salas' phone showing discussions with friends using fake accounts to place bets predicting his yellow cards, sharing profits around €9,000.
  • Salas sent a message stating, "This is getting out of our hands," showing his awareness of the situation, while authorities have identified a dozen individuals who benefited financially and indicated that, if found guilty of fraud, Salas could face a prison sentence ranging from half a year up to three years.
  • The investigation remains open with uncertain trial timing, and Salas could face bans, fines, or jail, jeopardizing his career despite rumors of an Italy transfer.
