I wonder what the actual final charges will be and what the evidence will be. Not sure what the law is in Oz re “match fixing” I’m imagining they have at least an admission from Davila (on the basis of his admission he made to his club official) and recorded conversations/messages.
It's not match fixing (a much more serious charge), it's spot fixing.
With reflection not so sure Lewis & Baccus will get life bans. Higher chance yes that Davila will, as the evidenced ring leader who brought the idea to the other 2 - plus mystery player four.
But it's still early stages. All guess work at this stage, and we have no idea of the actual evidence the police have.
Perhaps the most well known incidence in Australian sport of spot fixing involved NRL player Ryan Tandy. Tandy got a life ban from the NRL in 2011, and sadly died from a prescription drug overdose at only 32, three years after his ban. From Wiki -
After the 21 August 2010 Canterbury-Bankstown match against the North Queensland Cowboys, Tandy (played for Canterbury) became embroiled in a betting scandal. The Totalisator Agency Board (TAB) announced that 95 per cent of bets placed on the first scoring play of this match were for the unusual option of a Cowboys penalty goal. Friends and associates of Tandy placed a large number of bets, with the total windfall for a successful bet expected to be over $100,000.
Tandy was then responsible for two actions in the match to allow the opposing side to score a penalty goal inside the first two minutes: first by giving away possession to the Cowboys in the opening moments of the match by knocking on, and then giving away a penalty in the play-the-ball ten metres in front of the goal posts. These actions put the Cowboys in a position where a penalty goal was a likely outcome; but they decided on an attacking option and scored a try instead.
Tandy was in more than $70,000 debt at the time of the match, owing to losses from his own long-standing gambling addiction.
On 6 October 2011, Tandy was found to be guilty of manipulating the first scoring point of the game. He received an intensive correction order for six months. It required: community service, supervision and curfew, but he could have been jailed for two years. He appealed the charge in January 2014 but lost the case. Tandy received a lifetime ban from NRL rugby league over the spot fixing.
