Spartak striker Emenike could face up to three years in prison following match-fixing scandal in Turkey

Spartak Moscow Nigerian forward Emmanuel Emenike may face up to three years in prison if the Turkish authorities find him guilt of being involved in a match-fixing episode, which took places in turkey.

Former Fenerbahce player, who was detained and then released without charge in July, is among 14 players charged over alleged match-fixing attempts. Emenike left Turkey following his release and joined Spartak Moscow without playing a game for Fenerbahce.

Emenike, who was playing for Karabukspor at the time, was reportedly promised a transfer to Fenerbahce in return for not playing in a match against the team – an allegation Karabukspor has denied. The club said Emenike was injured a week before the game and has a doctor’s certificate to prove it.
