Match-fixing is one of the most serious problems facing international basketball. The Serbian League (KLS) is now being investigated for it.

The league released an official letter, claiming that FIBA has started disciplinary procedures against the members of the competition.

"Given that the disciplinary proceedings are still ongoing, KLS cannot provide details on which matches and which players participated in manipulative actions at this time," the league writes.

The KLS is cooperating with FIBA to ensure that people and organizations that partook in match-fixing are held accountable but the presumption of innocence is being preserved at the same time, the announcement says.

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade won the 2022-23 KLS title after defeating FMP Soccerbet Belgrade in the final.
