This is about Pier Larrauri, who was part of Deportivo Coopsol in 2023.
Peru.- The Peruvian midfielder, Pier Larrauri, stated that during his time in the second division with Deportivo Coopsol in 2023, he witnessed situations of illegal sports betting among his colleagues.
For the footballer, the context of promotion characterized by precarious working conditions, are the main driver for sports betting among his colleagues. However, his arrival at Deportivo Coopsol favorably helped his teammates not to engage in this illegal practice.
In fact, Larrauri points out that a teammate confessed to him that he had received assurances that his defensive teammates were involved in fixes. However, due to the lack of concrete evidence, they could not make a complaint.

The alleged manipulation of a football match triggered a series of altercations this week in Peru. On August 22, supporters of Sport Boys attacked the players, coaching staff, and assistants of the team during a training session. The aggression was a reaction to suspicions of rigging in the 6-2 defeat against Carlos Mannucci.
The result raised doubts on social media and led to the betting house Meridianbet suspending the payment of bets in favor of Mannucci, alleging possible fraud. Additionally, Sportradar, a company associated with FIFA and specialized in the detection of match-fixing in football, also issued an alert about the match.
