Eleven house searches were carried out in Spain and ^167,000 in cash were seized, along with a shotgun, more than 50 electronic devices, credit cards, five luxury vehicles and documentation related to the case. Forty-two bank accounts have been frozen.
The Civil Guard said in a statement 15 people had been arrested. Of the 83 people implicated in the case, 28 were professional tennis players, and one whose identity was not revealed competed in the 2018 US Open. — Reuters
