Belgian authorities say they have detained 13 people for questioning from raids linked to an investigation into match-fixing in professional tennis.
The federal prosecutor's office says in a statement on Tuesday there were 21 searches, most of them in Brussels.
Prosecutors suspect a Belgian-Armenian crime gang has been trying since 2014 to corrupt lower-division matches on the Futures and Challenger circuits, where there are few cameras filming tournaments.
No names of any players suspected of links to the match-fixing were provided.
