How Pakistan cricket betting scam unfolded
Members of Pakistan cricket team have been found guilty of participating in a betting scam in the Test match against England. Three players were involved in spot-fixing. The scandal was uncovered by a sting operation carried out by the News of the World newspaper. The agent who arranged the fix was caught on camera saying that Pakistan will lose the game within 3-and-a-half weeks. He was also seen accepting a payment of £150,000. NoW was closed earlier this year after journalists hacked into mobile phones in search of stories. It was revealed that journalists working for the paper had hacked the phones of cricket players.
