The NBA announced Monday that it is partnering with leading prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket, becoming the latest major U.S. sports league to team up with the controversial industry that opponents say blurs the line between gambling and financial trading. The NBA said the partnerships create an integrity framework, including giving the league greater influence over the markets offered, information sharing, and a memorandum of understanding with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the federal regulator that oversees the prediction market industry.
Three people have reportedly been arrested, and three more remain subject to arrest warrants as a major investigation into alleged match-fixing and bribery continues to shake Greek basketball. According to Gazzetta, Hellenic Basketball Federation (EOK) president Vangelis Liolios, former EuroLeague referee and Greek refereeing official Ilias Koromilas, and referee Petros Papapetrou have already been arrested. Arrest warrants reportedly remain outstanding for current EuroLeague ref Vaso Tsaroucha, basketball official Giorgos Mavraganis, and Tasos Piloidis, a former international referee who is currently a member of the federation's Central Refereeing Committee (KED). Several of the names have significant EuroLeague refereeing experience.
Koromilas, Papapetrou, and Tsaroucha all officiated EuroLeague games during parts of the broader 2018-2026 period reportedly being examined by Greek authorities, while Piloidis also worked in the competition earlier in his career. Koromilas' name previously surfaced in a separate EuroLeague-related case. In 2023, Ukrainian referee Mykola Ambrosov alleged that Boris Ryzhik approached him before the 2021 EuroCup Finals and said Koromilas had proposed paying €10,000 for Ambrosov to favor UNICS Kazan. Euroleague Basketball later conducted an independent investigation and said there was no clear evidence establishing an attempted bribe, and the case was dismissed as inconclusive.
According to ProtoThema, authorities found €820,000 in cash inside a safe at the home of a referee in the Greek countryside. The report did not identify which referee owned the property. ProtoThema reported that investigators consider the amount among several large sums discovered during the searches whose origins could not be sufficiently explained based on the information currently available. The searches were carried out after six arrest warrants were issued following an investigation by Athens sports prosecutor Apostolos Grammenos. According to the same report, the six people are being prosecuted, depending on the individual case, over alleged bribery and the acceptance of bribes under Greek sports law.
The case reportedly concerns allegations of manipulated games in Greece's top basketball division as well as lower-level competitions. ProtoThema reported that authorities are examining conduct potentially stretching back at least five years, with the case file containing witness statements, complaints, and messages involving basketball officials.
