20.43 IST   24th Mar 2003

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Newly appointed ICC's anti-corruption unit chief Jeff Rees, has said up to $500 million may have been illegally wagered in Mumbai alone on the World Cup final between India and Australia.

Mr. Rees, who replaced Sir Paul Condon as the general manager of the ACU, also the India-Pakistan match on March 1 attracted illegal betting amounting to over 50 million pounds in Mumbai.

Rees, however, was of the view that the World Cup 2003 had been free of "corrupting influences".

"We are quite confident this has been a clean tournament," said Rees.
