Brezilya'da devam eden Dünya Kupasında Bilet sahtekarlığından bahsediyor. Türk Basınında da çıktı ama ben yasağa takılmamak için yabancı kaynak buldum.
Haberde engelli raporu ve bu sayede maç bileti alabilmek için çeşitli sahtekarlıklara başvurulduğundan falan bahsediyor.
Lots of people have advocated for the restorative power of exercise, but how about the healing abilities of merely watching sport?
For some Brazilian soccer fans, attending World Cup matches appears to have eliminated their need for wheelchairs — or, more likely, according to police in Brazil, they’ve been revealed as frauds. Police are investigating fans who allegedly bought tickets on the black market and tried to cover their tracks by accessing the stadium in wheelchairs, according to the Telegraph, a U.K. daily newspaper.
The police are examining the behavior of a group of Brazil fans who during the opening match in São Paulo on June 12 appeared to jump out of their seats in excitement — certainly not uncommon at a soccer stadium. Here’s the catch: CCTV images and photos shared on social media show ostensibly wheelchair-bound attendees appearing to have little trouble standing up and actively rooting during the match.
According to the Telegraph, many of the tickets for disabled people have been passed on by touts to fans willing to feign handicaps to gain stadium access.
But it’s not just the World Cup host country’s soccer fanatics resorting to underhanded methods to watch the tournament. National Public Radio’s Shanghai correspondent, Frank Langfitt, last week described how online stores in China sell fake doctor’s notes to World Cup enthusiasts to excuse them from work on match days, a particularly acute need due to the significant time difference between Brazil and China, meaning games are being shown in the middle of the night, clashing with a worker-friendly sleep pattern.
For $33 Langfitt purchased a doctor’s note purporting to be from a famous Shanghai hospital.
