    It was bound to come out sooner or later, and now it looks like the cat is out the bag.

    Gulam Bodi, who played two ODIs and one T20 for the Proteas, is believed to be the man at the centre of the Ram Slam T20 fixing saga. Here’s Sport24:

    It reported that three sources had confirmed he was being investigated. It also said he had been provisionally suspended in December.

    News24 has also independently confirmed that Bodi is being investigated…

    CSA has remained tight-lipped over the identity of the individual to date, but according to respected cricket writer and commentator Neil Manthorp, the ringleader is a former national player – who is almost certain to face prison time for his actions.

    Then there is this from The South African:

    He has not played for his franchise since the beginning of 2015, when he retired from cricket…

    Bodi is suspected of trying to influence players to “spot fix” during the 2015 Ram Slam tournament and, reportedly, has refused to co-operate with Cricket South Africa’s investigation.

    Cricinfo with some of the legalities:

    In their original statement, CSA said the intermediary had been charged under its anti-corruption code with “contriving to fix, or otherwise improperly influence aspects” of the 2014-15 domestic Twenty20 competition.

    The person involved had also been charged with “failing, or refusing without compelling justification, to cooperate with an investigation carried out by an anti-corruption official.”

    South Africa’s Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act Law was introduced in 2004 and included a so-called “Hansie clause” to tackle corruption in sporting events, such as those for which Hansie Cronje, South Africa’s former captain, received a life ban from cricket in 2000.

    ESPNcricinfo also understands that other players involved in the competition will face the lesser charge of failing to report an approach, a breach of the ICC anti-corruption code that carries a ban of up to five years if found guilty.
