German Football Federation president Theo Zwanziger vowed to punish anyone in Germany involved in the match-fixing scandal that has rocked Europe.

German prosecutors revealed 200 games are under suspicion of having been rigged across Europe by a 200-strong band suspected of bribing players, coaches, referees and officials to fix matches in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, Hungary, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Austria.

"We will punish these people. It is important to get the message across that it's not what has happened, but how we handle it now," Zwanziger said.
