Two Romanian referees, Marcel Savaniu and Sorin Corpodean (an ex-First Class referee), were retained today by the Piteşti Anti-Corruption National Department (DNA). They look at a 24 hour detaining, and the prosecutor has asked for a 29-days further arrest.
They are charged with receiving bribes from Cornel Penescu, also in arrest, the owner of first-league club FC Argeş.
Two other referees and an observer are under investigation and risk arrest in this ongoing investigation.
