Delhi police have claimed that a 1.2 crore bribe was paid to former South African captain Hansie Cronje to fix cricket matches between India and South Africa.

They have stated that Cronje received money in two stages, 60 lakh and then 1.2 crore from a London based bookmaker Sanjeev Chawla.

The chargesheet filed after a period of 13 years, has used Arun Sadashiv Donbre who worked in the Taj Mumbai as an important eyewitness. According to statements recorded by the police, the witness had said that he saw Cronje “going inside Sanjeev Chawla’s room empty-handed and coming out with a bag”.

The police say that this shows the close link between Sanjeev and Hansie and also the fact that Cronje had received the money.
