not only in brazil, many other countries do it like that, for example fixing scores in matches, therefore I have never been interested in betting on the minor leagues because there is potentially a lot of cheating there, that's why betting on the big leagues is safer even though sometimes I often see clubs big lose against small club i always thought there was a game in it, but i thought maybe it was just bad luck, lol
If you know which match is usually have fixing scores, then you can make easy money from that lol. Big leagues are high likely doesn't have any manipulation and it's safer to bet, but it doesn't make you rich if you not bet big amount of money. There are many matches on minor leagues are really worth to bet the underdog because the odds is really huge. In big leagues, usually the underdog have almost 0% chance to beat the favorite team due to huge gap difference.

^Yeah, that might be the reason for accepting those bribes. As players with a low salary, they have to go illegal just so they can make more money even if it includes doing it the wrong way.
This is the reason why organizations are usually attacking smaller leagues, they know they can easily manipulate them and especially if these leagues are available to bet on online sports betting sites. That would be an easy profit for them if they will be betting millions of dollars. So this $20k+ bribe payment to every player is just pennies for them when they know what the outcome will be.

It is estimated that the bettors would have profited approximately R$ 2 million (~US$ 383,130.00). 
The fraud involved bribes for players, and among the main actions, it was necessary for the player to commit penalties in the first half of the games that were played. Each player received R$ 150,000 per bet for this act (~U$ 28,734.00).
In fact, this makes it much easier to earn money from sports betting.
Unfortunately these are situations that occur in several countries, but the amount of money involved always calls our attention.
In these cases, bets were placed on the competitions that we call "Series B", which is the second largest football championship in Brazil, in which the best classifieds guarantee a place for the main championship in the following year.

Yes, most likely small tournaments has been rigged, I'm not sure what "Series B" league means, if it falls to that category because it's easier to manipulate the game is lower leagues.
In any case, there are coaches and players willing to collude and accept bribes, and there are individuals who are going to approaches coaches and team to offer bribes because they are going to make a lot of money from betting on them. It's that when they are caught, the coaches and players are hit harder because they could be ban for life.

The Series B are a good league in Brazil also after the Serie A the main league and I find it surprising that some players were bribed to commit penalties for just 29.000 dollars,I am assuming the pay of the players in this Serie B is not that good if the players agreed to fix things.I have always known that game fixing exists but not in such a big manner in the bigger leagues,for example what I thought to be a league that fixing game would be easy is 7th or 8th division in Denmark and Norway,they have a lot of such divisions and the players there are amateurs.
I think FIFA should start an investigation and make the teams and players who have done this responsible by giving them big penalties like moving the team to the lowest division with 10 years staying there no matter if they win that league.
That match-fixing persists as a problem in sports is disturbing, as is the staggering sums of money involved. Although the cheating in this case affected only a lower-level competition, it nonetheless casts doubt on the fairness of higher-level contests. I'd like to think that as a sports fan, the outcome of a game is based on the skill and effort of the players rather than chance. It is imperative that authorities crack down hard on these illegal actions and implement severe fines in order to deter any further occurrences. Last but not least, sports shouldn't be used as a cover for illegal behavior but rather as a platform for fair competition and audience enjoyment.

It's not of course new when it comes to a bit less popular league. Series B isn't that popular unless you are a Brazilian and like football. In such games, it's much easier to fix a match.
In our country, the premier league is the highest competition among the clubs and you know match-fixing is common in this tournament. Years back, a video footage was leaked where a note in a paper was sent to the captain of the leading team but after that note was sent, their performance was dropped significantly which arose a question of what the hell was written in that paper. Though I didn't follow the news, I'm sure no one had to set forth on that issue. The whole BFF is corrupted.

If it's possible for this kind of competition for fraud to occur, how much more to much smaller competitions. There are local and regional competitions everywhere. Some games must be rigged. Some detected, some not.
Here, there was also a national basketball competition where a team was obviously throwing the game. It was Manny Pacquiao himself who filed the case against those who were involved in the fixing.
I also have a neighbor who was a pro DOTA II player. He and his team were involved in match fixing. They were banned by Valve itself.
Fraud is also rampant in sports.
Match fixing has always been a problem when it comes to sports and the only thing that somehow protects the most important leagues are the high salaries they pay to their players and coaches so they cannot be easily bribed.Here, there was also a national basketball competition where a team was obviously throwing the game.

But away from the spotlight and with salaries many times smaller it is easy to see how organized crime could bribe players to do whatever they want, as 28k dollars to each player for each penalty they commit is a huge sum for them, and it is likely an amount higher than what they receive for each game they play.
Match fixing is an issue mainly in developing countries. Most of it is organised by mafia that also involves in drug trade, illegal weapon trade etc. This type of things never get old. Its very hard to avoid match fixing if your country permits completely legal sports betting options. I don't call for them making it illegal but sometimes its impossible to detect. I am pretty sure this match fixing issue happened in Brazil is only visible side of "iceberg". Noone knows what happens at other side, in deep.

Hey, OP, as long as you've been on the forum, you should know better than to include a link to the news item. I guess the news is in Portuguese? I've searched and I don't see anything about it but I did find this which is relevant to the general match fixing problem:
Suspicious sports results? Mafia might have fixed them
Quote
Organised crime groups make an estimated €120 million of profit a year from betting-related match-fixing in sports events. Not only football matches are fixed, but tennis results are also manipulated more and more. And sports mafia are no longer only corrupting players, but clubs too.
