Swiss prosecutors said Tuesday that a football match-fixing investigation does not involve referees or club officials in Switzerland, while one team under suspicion is asking its players to sign a declaration of innocence.

Switzerland is one of nine countries named in European football's biggest corruption scandal, with 28 Swiss matches among about 200 under suspicion, according to German investigators leading the probe.
