Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim was charged in an alleged match-fixing scandal along with several club officials and players, including former forward Emmanuel Emenike of Nigeria.
League champion Fenerbahce was barred from the Champions League this season because of its involvement in the match-fixing scandal and it could be stripped of its domestic title and face relegation.
Yildirim, who has denied any wrongdoing, could be sentenced to a total of over 100 years in prison if convicted on charges of establishing a crime-ring, swindling, and match-fixing, the state-run Anadolu Agency said.
Yildirim and 30 others, including former Giresunspor president Olgun Peker, remain in jail and it was not clear when they will go on trial in connection with the scandal involving 19 allegedly fixed games last season.
Some details of the 401-page indictment were announced after President Abdullah Gul vetoed parliamentary amendments that would have reduced prison terms for match-fixing, AP reported.
