Disgraced NBA participant Jontay Porter’s woes aren’t over as legislation enforcement in Canada has now launched a legal investigation into his match-fixing. The 24-year-old acquired a lifetime ban from the league in April after deliberately withdrawing from two video games with the Toronto Raptors to make sure his accomplices gained their participant prop bets.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) spokesperson Craig Abrams revealed on Tuesday that the group’s Investigation and Enforcement Bureau believes this case warrants a legal probe.

Whereas the authorities in New York charged 4 folks for his or her roles within the scheme, they haven’t charged Porter but. The people allegedly positioned important wagers on the “underneath” for Porter prop bets in January and March. Sportsbooks grew suspicious in regards to the exercise and reported it to the related authorities for additional investigation.

In a dialog with ESPN, Abrams mentioned that the OPP is liaising with the federal our bodies within the US on this case. Talking final week about his consumer, Jontay Porter’s lawyer Jeff Jensen mentioned that Porter is absolutely cooperating with the authorities and is at the moment getting therapy for his playing habit.
