The Norwegian Football Federation says it will review all international transfers over the past four years following several cases of alleged fraud involving teams from the country's top league.
The federation said in a statement Wednesday that it would hire an outside auditor to review player contracts in the top men's and women's leagues.
Last week three officials from the Fredrikstad club and Estonian defender Raio Piiroja were charged with tax fraud in connection with Piiroja's contract.
Piiroja, who now plays for Dutch club Vitesse, was in Norway this week to talk with police. He denies any wrongdoing.
