‚Match Fixing through Bribery in Sport. An Investigation into Sports Betting Fraud and the Manipulation of Professional Sports Competitions According to §§ 265c – 265e StGB (German Criminal Code)‘: Due to the increasing commercialization and the economically attractive profit opportunities, sporting competitions are threatened by match fixing. The thesis examines the criminal offenses introduced by the 51st StrÄndG in 2017 (§§ 265c and 265d StGB). This investigation comes to the conclusion that, due to the restrictive interpretations for the indefinite features, the areas of application of both facts should be narrower in practice than provided by the legislature.
