There’s £60k at the back of the team bus. But if you take it, there’s no turning back. His first child is on the way. He’s arguing with his manager over poor results on the pitch. But Moses has a growing belief he can manipulate players better than his previous mentor, Delroy Facey. It’s time to step up and find out.

Moses Swaibu reveals how he risked it all for a fortune fixing in the English league. From Crystal Palace’s Young Player of the year, to shifting vast piles of cash and recruiting fellow players to compromise and betray the beautiful game, this is the gob-smacking inside story of how match-fixing was able to spread across an entire English football league. Along the way, Moses encounters some of the world’s most successful and dangerous match-fixers and finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a chaotic and sinister life ruled by money and power.

Maisie Adam introduces a very special episode of Sport's Strangest Crimes: A French Football Scandal. Aminata Diallo, the footballer awaiting trial for organising an attack on one of her team mates, speaks openly about the case.
Aminata Diallo, in conversation with Charlotte Harpur and Tom Williams, recalls the night of the attack as she remembers it, what happened in the immediate aftermath and the shock of her arrest just hours after starring for PSG against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Diallo also discusses her relationship with Hamraoui and how it felt returning to play alongside her after her initial release from police custody.
In addition, she talks about her re-arrest in September 2022, how it felt to be charged, now with the threat of a prison sentence hanging over her.
And she addresses head on the revelations and accusations from the secret surveillance of her, along with those details of her internet searches and police reports that were subsequently leaked to the media.
And she opens up about the personal impact the whole affair has had on her and those close to her. It's unmissable.

Maisie Adam continues the astonishing story that has rocked women's football in France.
Its the aftermath of the arrest of Aminata Diallo, she and her lawyers contest the bail terms to allow her to continue her football career abroad.
Kheira Hamraoui, meanwhile, so long the target of acrimonious abuse for supposedly unfairly leading the police to Diallo's door for the original arrest, is suddenly viewed in a more sympathetic light. The public, the fans and the players, or at least those who called her, are all now given good cause to reflect on their actions.
Having looked to be on her way out at PSG, Hamraoui's determination to fight for her place at PSG pays off as she not only returns to the first team, but plays well enough to earn a recall to the French squad just months ahead of the World Cup.
However, in another twist, something close to mutiny breaks out in the player ranks of the national team, and there are suggestions its partly connected to the Diallo-Hamraoui affair.
Then at the end of the season comes the decision by PSG not to renew her contract. For Hamraoui its the final blow in what has been a harrowing 18 months for her.
For both players now its the agonising wait for a trial date, although both are looking for very diiferent kinds of closure.
Defence and prosecution make their final summaries and the scene is set for the last episode and an exclusive interview with the accused, Animata Diallo.
