Overview

• The former Macarthur FC captain admitted in a Sydney court to facilitating conduct that corrupted betting markets.
• Prosecutors withdrew eight charges, including allegations he led a criminal group, as part of the plea.
• Investigators say the scheme involved deliberate yellow cards in up to six 2023–24 matches, with a key December 9, 2023 game targeting at least four cautions.
• Reports state bets were placed via Betplay and about $200,000 was gained, with Clayton Lewis and Kearyn Baccus telling authorities Dávila paid them $10,000 each.
• Dávila remains on bail with weekly reporting; Macarthur FC terminated the players’ contracts in June 2024 and the league imposed suspensions reported as lifetime, as the club urges stronger integrity safeguards.
