Overview

• Eight charges were withdrawn in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court, including allegations that Davila directed a criminal group.
• Court documents state the scheme targeted cautions across six A-League matches in 2023 and 2024 through deliberate yellow cards.
• During a December 9, 2023 match against Sydney FC, Davila and teammates Clayton Lewis and Kearyn Baccus were booked after coordinated bets on team cautions.
• Lewis and Baccus told the court they were paid A$10,000 each, and overseas wagers placed via BetPlay produced payouts exceeding A$200,000.
• Lewis and Baccus previously received two-year community release orders without convictions, and all three players are suspended and no longer contracted to Macarthur FC.
