A Turkish court has jailed seven people pending trial onas part of a match-fixing investigation which has cast a shadow over the country's multi-billion-dollar football league.
The state-run Anatolian news agency says seven suspects, including the former chairmen of Diyarbakirspor and Giresunspor, were sent to Metris jail in Istanbul overnight.
They are among 61 people, including the chairman of champions Fenerbahce, detained since Sunday in a probe which has hit footballcompany shares and thrown preparations for next season into disarray a month before kick off.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, who's a Fenerbahce fan, has called for a rapid and just outcome to the investigation, saying the affair is staining the country's image internationally.
