Greece's top football league official and chairman of champion Olympiakos has been named as a suspect in a major bribery scandal that has shaken the sport in the country.
Judicial authorities said Vangelis Marinakis was among 68 suspects named Friday - a list that also includes national team and Olympiakos defender Avraam Papadopoulos, agents, businessmen and club officials, mostly from the country's second division.
Marinakis angrily denied any wrongdoing.
The investigation was launched after UEFA gave Greek authorities a report citing irregular betting patterns, mostly involving Greek Cup and second division games in 2009 and 2010.
