Two officials detained in Polish soccer corruption probe

Polish police detained a top-level referee and an assistant Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation into corruption in domestic soccer.

The two were detained in the northeastern city of Suwalki. They were identified only as Cezary S. and Krzysztof G., in line with Poland's privacy law.

They were being driven to prosecutors in Wroclaw, where they would be questioned and charges could be filed, said Temistokles Brodowski, spokesman for the Central Anti-Corruption Office.
