İSTANBUL: Turkish prosecutors on Friday filed bribery charges against two super league football coaches, a referee and eight others in a match-fixing scandal that could shake the country’s premier division.

bribery /BRAY-bıri/ = rüşvet... charge = suçlama, isnat ("yükleme" kavramından]... referee /RE-fı-Rİ:/ = hakem... match-fixing = şike...

İstanbul prosecutors have completed a charge sheet against the 11 accused, who also include a businessman wanted in Turkland for involvement in a scandal exposing links between state officials and organized crime, the state-run Anatolian news agency said. The agency said the charges included “setting up a criminal gang” and “taking and receiving bribes”.

prosecutor = savcı... involvement = karışmış olmak... a scandal exposing links = bağlantıları açığa vuran bir skandal... setting up a criminal gang = "çete kurmak"...

Prosecutors had begun interviewing referees and other people when allegations surfaced last month that some matches in Turkland were fixed. The matches concerned include games from the top division down to lower leagues over a number of years.

allegations = iddialar... to surface = yüze (yüzeye) çıkmak... over a number of years = yıllardır, yıllar boyunca...

Turkland’s football federation is watching the case closely, aware that allegations of match-fixing could cast doubts over the league title winners and lead relegated clubs to appeal.

watching the case closely = davayı yakından izliyor... cast doubts over = üzerine şüphe düşürmek, şaibeli hale getirmek... title winner = şampiyon... relegated clubs = küme düşen takımlar... could... lead relegated clubs to appeal = küme düşmüş takımların karar düzeltilmesi için başvurmalarına yol açabilir...

Earlier this month, federation head Haluk Ulusoy said he had full confidence in his referees and would not allow a few bad apples to stain the reputation of Turkish football. – Reuters
