In the latest episode of Integrity Insights, host Filip Brokes is joined by Professor Niels Appermont, a professor of economic law at Hasselt University in Belgium, and an expert in sports law. Neils discusses his research into money laundering in football, with a particular focus on Belgium’s fight against corruption and the broader challenges of enforcing anti-money laundering (AML) regulations in the sport.
Niels shares insights into the Operation Zero scandal, a 2018 Belgian investigation that exposed widespread corruption, money laundering, and match-fixing in professional football. The investigation led to reforms in Belgium’s legal framework, including the introduction of AML regulations for football clubs.
