Police called over suspicious Ballon d’Or bets after Harry Kane triumph as investigation launched

An investigation is underway after a series of dubious bets were placed on the exact top-five order of the Men’s Ballon d’Or. The glitzy event, recognising the best players and teams from the previous season, took place last Monday night at the London Palladium Theatre with the biggest stars in attendance. But a night that saw England captain Harry Kane crowned the world’s best player has now been shrouded in controversy, according to The Guardian.
