13 Scenario IOC s Integrity Betting Intelligence System (IBIS) has received an alert relating to your sport during the Olympic Games stating: That the competition between the Red Team and Blue Team was fixed. Players and others bet large amounts of money on the competition The IOC have informed you of the report
14 What is the purpose of a fact-finding inquiry? Investigation/inquiry is to establish facts not to determine innocence or guilt ; Information should be collected in an impartial, unbiased manner; Standard of proof.
15 REGULATORY BASIS FOR FACT-FINDING INQUIRIES
16 Sports vs Criminal Procedures SPORTS Jurisdiction: only if legal relationship. CRIMINAL No penalty without law. Fact-Finding Inquiry to establish if evidence exists of breach of the regulations. Criminal Investigation: if evidence of a breach of the law + prospect of conviction + public interest Evidence: all admissible (if obtained legally). Evidence: may use Special Investigative Techniques Standard of Proof: Balance of probabilities. Standard of Proof: Beyond reasonable doubt. Sanctions (fine, suspension etc) Sentence (fine, prison etc). 16
17 Criminal Law Provisions for the Prosecution of Competition Manipulation Booklet for Legislators Full Research Study: launched 15 February 2017 available at: 17
18 Jurisdictions with specific match-fixing offences (2016) 28/52 legislations have proposed, adopted or enacted specific provisions incriminating match-fixing: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, People s Republic of China, Denmark, El Salvador, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Malta, New Zealand, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, the Russian Federation, the Republic of South- Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America 18
19 United Kingdom Gambling Act 2005 UK Gambling Act Section 42, Para. 1: a person commits an offence if he (a) cheats at gambling, or (b) does anything for the purpose of enabling or assisting another person to cheat at gambling. Section 42, Para. 3: cheating at gambling may, in particular, consist of actual or attempted deception or interference in connection with (a) the process by which gambling is conducted, or (b) a real or virtual game, race or other event or process to which gambling relates. ie. limited to competitions on which bets are proposed. the match-fixing offence is intrinsically linked to the risk associated with a manipulation of a betting event Similar law in Australia, France, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, and Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 19
20 Good Practices and Recommandations Application of the competition manipulation offence to all sports and competitions Definition of competition manipulation an intentional arrangement, act or omission aimed at an improper alteration of the result or the course of a sports competition with a view to obtaining an undue advantage for oneself or for others. Distinguishing between match-fixing and bet-fixing Recommended: that the match-fixing offence be independent from betting on a sports event or competition which is fixed. National lawmakers may adapt the match-fixing offence to include bet-fixing (i.e. to criminalize all match-fixing forms but in particular those aimed at altering the result of a bet) or to provide for a separate offence related to cheating at betting. In this case, fixing a sports competition for betting purposes could be an aggravating factor. 20
21 Model Criminal Law Provisions 1. Any person who, directly or indirectly, promises, offers or gives any undue advantage to another person, for himself, herself or for others, with the aim of improperly altering the result or the course of a sports competition, shall be punished by. 2. Any person who, directly or indirectly, solicits or accepts any undue advantage or the promise or the offer thereof, for himself, herself or for others, with the aim of improperly altering the result or the course of a sports competition, shall be punished by 21
22 Olympic Movement Code on the Prevention of the Manipulation of Competitions Approved by the IOC Executive Board in December For all sports organisations bound by the Olympic Charter and IOC Code of Ethics Objectives To harmonise sports rules in relation to competition manipulation based on minimum standards. To harmonise definitions in line with the Council of Europe Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions.

23 A. Regulations/ Legislation Don t bet Don t fix Don t share inside information Always report
24 Cases of interest at the Olympic Games 24
25 Conducting a Fact-Finding Inquiry: Where does the initial alert come from and what platform should deal with it?
26 Information may come from the Media or Reporting Mechanisms Obligation to report under the OM Code on the Prevention of the Manipulation of Competitions Should be a valuable source of intelligence Key considerations: What does the law allow? Who to report to? How long to report? How can people report? IOC Integrity and Compliance Hotline Treatment and protection of whistleblowers 26
27 Information may come from: Integrity Betting Intelligence System (IBIS) 27
28 Case 1: Alert received from sport IBIS Feedback loop with sports betting entities No confirmation Confirmation Info to IF Info to IF: Alert confirmed => Actionable Intelligence Info to betting side: Alert confirmed => Investigation launched Investigation After completed investigation: High importance of Feedback to all IBIS partners

30 Monitoring/Intelligence/ Investigations 30
31 Conducting a Fact-Finding Inquiry: Inquiry Planning, Information Gathering, Sharing and Analysis
32 What are you going to do FIRST?
33 Inquiry Planning 1. Alert/Report/Inquiry Triggers 2. Establish Context: What are you trying to establish? Who do you tell? When? 3. Regulations 4. Jurisdiction 5. Seek further information 6. Risk management Media Strategy 7. Initiate Fact-Finding Inquiry 8. Information Gathering 9. Inquiry Plan: Timescale 10. Case File Report Submit report to Sports Disciplinary Body Submit report to police (if relevant)
34 What sources of information are available for background inquiries? News and media reports (including social media), Publicly available video footage, Unrestricted information from your organisation Previous reports/suspicions recorded in your organisation Betting related information exchange system information (e.g. IBIS) 34
35 What sources of information are available for open inquiries? telephone billing, bank statements, texts and s, Reports from law enforcement, other sports organisations etc. physical surveillance including match official reports, video footage, testimony from individuals recorded orally or in writing hotline/reporting mechanism reports betting monitoring reports 35
36 Betting Monitoring Reports Types of Betting Monitoring 1. Monitoring by sports organisations in partnership with betting entities e.g. Tennis Integrity Unit, IOC Integrity Betting Intelligence System (IBIS) 2. Monitoring / Fraud Detection Companies e.g. SportRadar used by FIFA, UEFA, IBIS 3. Betting Industry Monitoring e.g. Global Lotteries Monitoring System (GLMS), national lotteries monitoring systems, ESSA (European private betting operators)
37 Limitations of Betting Monitoring Irregular betting patterns can be caused by: Professional Gamblers recognising weakness in the odds; Hedging of bets by other operators (sometimes illegal); Rumours aimed to change odds, media power. Match-fixers know how betting monitoring works Spread bets across operators, start rumours, use false identities, bet on black markets Not all sports / matches are monitored Encouraging fixing in lower leagues Black markets are difficult to monitor
38 Information Evaluation How do you evaluate the information gathered? 1. Where/who did it come from and are they reliable? Source reliability 2. Is the content reliable? Content reliability Consider these concepts in terms of betting monitoring
39 The purpose of evaluating information includes: Changing it from random information to something more structured; Ensures a standardised approach to information in all reports; Removes bias uses quantifiable judgement rather than thoughts and feelings; Adding value to the information; Helps you to understand the information and communicate that understanding to others; Helps identify further action required; Ensures you considered who information should be shared with.
40 Information Evaluation - 3 x 3 x 3 Information is graded according to: Source Evaluation How reliable is of the source of the information/intelligence? Graded as A, B or C Information Evaluation How accurate is the information? Graded as 1, 2 or 3 Handling Code Who can the information be shared with? Graded as X, R or O
41 Source Evaluation Grade A B C Description Reliable Where there is no doubt of the authenticity, trustworthiness and competence of the source, or if the information is supplied by a source who has been reliable in the past Sometimes reliable Source from whom information is has sometimes been reliable in the past Untested source The reliability of the source cannot be assessed
42 Information Evaluation Grade Description Information whose accuracy is not in doubt to either the investigator or the source Information not known personally to the investigator or source but corroborated by other information already received The information may be false or malicious
43 Handling Code Grade X R O Description Confidential Requires recording of information and disseminating only to specific nominated individuals; Source must be protected Restricted Requires dissemination to those within the sport community for disciplinary and security matters across all levels Open Information can be shared and disseminated to any party in line with organizational procedures and in particular media policy
44 Olympic Movement Code on the Prevention of the Manipulation of Competitions Art. 3.4 Confidentiality Information to be exchanged on a need to know basis In a Fact-Finding Inquiry, there are two types of sources: 1. Those free to provide information 2. Those who must report and cooperate with the inquiry Keep a record of all those who have access to inquiry information. Securely store all evidence. 44
45 Information Sharing and Protection Managing the Expectations of the Source Reports / information / intelligence from an unsolicited source are crucial Unsolicited sources can be known or anonymous FF s should be mindful that unsolicited sources can become witnesses If the source is known it is good practice to follow-up The source is likely to feel vulnerable and anxious and so the FF should see them at an early stage 45
46 Sample Acknowledgement {Insert Official Heading} {Insert your contact details} Dear {insert name} I am writing to let you know that I have received your report regarding {insert wording from the report}. Thank you for reporting your concerns and for your patience while we look into the matter. I may need to speak to you in the future. In the meantime if you have anything further to add, or you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely {Insert signature} {Date} 46
47 Sharing Information Agreed procedure regarding with whom and at what point to share this information Source of the information must be properly protected Information is shared with a clear understanding by all parties of what will be done with it At the national level, for FFs there is significant merit in reaching out to any of the key stakeholders who may have relevant information to offer or who may be affected by the inquiry/allegation FFs must also consider the possible need to share and seek information with relevant regional and international organisations. 47
48 Managing Information A report be given a unique reference number and recorded on a database or manual record, this is both for auditing purposes and to protect the original source. Steps are taken to identify and screen out information that is obviously vexatious and not worthy of further action. Initially analyse and assess the trigger information and seek corroboration. Identify who should be informed of the trigger information and of developments and further action as they evolve. What action will be taken with the information where there is insufficient evidence to progress the inquiry to the disciplinary body or at the conclusion of the proceedings. 48
49 Securing Confidential Information All materials containing confidential information to be secured manage risk; Only nominated individuals to be informed of confidential information; All case files and records to carry anonymized information.
50 Risk Management Factors that contribute to risk during a fact finding inquiry: The integrity of upcoming games/competitions; Inadvertently disclosing confidential information; Disclosing the identity of the source of the confidential report; Failing to act on trigger information; Failing to supply internal notifications in a timely manner; Failing to make external notifications in a timely manner;
51 .. Engaging in inquiries which prematurely alert third parties to the fact that an inquiry is underway; Compromise a parallel criminal investigation; Acting on information that has not been evaluated for reliability in terms of source or content; Misplacing supporting documents or evidence; Failing to complete the inquiry and submit the report in a timely manner.
52 Interviewing
53 An interview is a conversation with a purpose Gather Information Natural Justice Establish Facts
54 Conversation with a Purpose Managing the conversation: Two elements The Social Greeting phase, verbal / non verbal behaviour, rapport The Investigation Planning /preparation, gathering information, establishing facts, recording

58 Effective Listening The wiser the person is the less they speak and the more they listen.
59 4 tools for effective listening Encourage Use verbal and non verbal as a means of encouraging others to continue talking Paraphrase restating what the other person just said allows him/her to confirm that you have understood Summarise all that has been said Pretend ignorance encourages others to express more freely
