The Spanish police have detained six people for possible match-fixing in a Copa Del Rey match between Levante and lower league side Huracan Melilla, which the former had won 8-0 back in December 2021.

The police haven't provided any information on their identities as of now.

Authorities had taken notice of the game after numerous bets were made in Melilla both online and at betting parlors, police said.

Levante, who were in the top tier of Spanish football at the time have said they have nothing to do with the allegations on Thursday.
