A court battle has begun to rule on Lucas Paqueta's match-fixing charges.
TalkSport in the UK reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'Paketa's match-fixing trial will officially begin'
TalkSport is under investigation for alleged manipulation, even though Paqueta denies wrongdoing, and is accused of intentionally receiving four warnings. The English Football Association (FA) claims that several people have benefited financially from this. The FA explained in a statement that it deliberately took cards for inappropriate purposes and affected the game. 'There is already a separate hearing in Brazil, and Paceta will be excluded from the Brazilian national team and will give evidence.'"

Paqueta has been outstanding since joining West Ham in 2022 and has been recognized as an English Premier League (EPL) quality midfielder. Paqueta, who continued his performance, received attention from Manchester City and was evaluated as a player who would join the world's best team.
But his career has recently been thrust into a sudden crisis. He was accused of betting by manipulating the match through intentional warnings. The FA indicted Paqueta on charges that he was deliberately warned in an EPL game so that acquaintances, including himself, could benefit from the betting.
It's been a problem for Paqueta to have received the card four times since 2022. It is claimed that he was deliberately warned against Leicester City in November 2022, Aston Villa in March 2023, Leeds United in May and Bournemouth in August 2024. The player himself is currently denying the allegations altogether. He is very surprised and angry that the FA has decided to prosecute me. I cooperated with every step of the investigation for nine months. I provided all the information I could. I completely deny all allegations. I'll fight to clear up", he strongly denied.

The FA pushed Paqueta even stronger ahead of this court hearing. According to British media, `The FA has requested a permanent ban on Paqueta,' adding that if Paqueta's alleged match-fixing is true, it should be severely punished.
If Paqueta's alleged match-fixing is true, it seems that the maximum permanent ban is possible. TalkSport said 'Such misconduct can be subject to a minimum of six months to a maximum permanent ban. The hearing is expected to last for three weeks since the start on the 17th,' it explained.
