Lucas Paquetá Urges FA to Probe Case Leaks Amid Spot-Fixing Allegations

The West Ham midfielder denies charges of deliberate bookings for betting gains and seeks investigation into leaked information.

Lucas Paquetá has been charged with four instances of spot-fixing, allegedly receiving bookings to influence betting markets.
The allegations involve Premier League matches from 2022 and 2023, with Paquetá denying all charges against him.
Paquetá is frustrated by media leaks, which he believes are sourced from someone close to the case and could jeopardize a fair hearing.
He has instructed his lawyers to request the FA investigate the leaks, emphasizing the supposed confidentiality of the proceedings.
Despite the charges, Paquetá continues to play for West Ham and Brazil while awaiting the disciplinary hearing set for March.
