Dear Sir/Madam,

In August I sent you en email regarding the matchfixing scandal in Turkey. Unfortunately I have to inform you that things have worsended in the meantime.

My previous mail was to inform you on the misstandings of the Turkish Football Association, in particular the president. In the meantime also the Parliament, legislators, club officials have joined the discussion and are trying to change legislation in favor of match fixing.

The current legislation (nr. 6222) passed just 6 months ago is being changed (nr. 6250) in a period that the crimes covered by the legislation are under investigation and the indictments are underway. Both public conscience and universal justice norms are disregarded. Instead of fighting with match fixing, legislation wants to be transformed so that the penalties are more lenient.

Since the beginning of July 2011, we have tried to appeal to the international sports community to support us in our struggle against the match fixing in Turkey. Finally the day has come and the indictment is announced publicly. The extent of match fixing, intimidation and extortion in the indictment is severe not only for football but also for any criminal act. But Turkish Football Federation is still evading to implement disciplinary actions and biding its time.

Now it is time for justice. We do not want to be a part of this wicked, unfair, political scenario. We again appeal to all the fans, football and sports officials and justice conscious people to put an end to match fixing in such a way that a strong message is given to the world that such acts are not to be tolerated. If dissuasive penalties are not given, our confidence in the fairness of football will be shattered to pieces. If football's governing bodies look the other way while the spirit of the game is violated openly, doubt will cast over every single football game played in the world.
