Summary.

The bill criminalizes corruption or fraud in sport by adding articles to the Criminal Code, within the chapter on swindling and other frauds. It punishes with imprisonment anyone who, directly or through another person, offers, promises, grants or delivers an unjustified benefit, financial or otherwise, to officials, employees, players, athletes, coaching staff, referees, judges, commissioners or intermediary agents, in order to deliberately and fraudulently predetermine or alter the course or outcome of a match or sports competition. It provides the same penalty for those in such positions who receive or accept such benefits.
