ATHENS, Greece (AP) ? Greek sports authorities say UEFA President Michel Platini will visit the country on July 26 for high-level meetings to discuss the country’s match-fixing scandal.

Greece’s sports ministry said Thursday in a statement that Platini and his UEFA delegation will meet with Prime Minister George Papandreou.

More than 60 soccer club officials, players, businessmen and others are under investigation in a corruption probe. Ten people were in custody on charges of money laundering and participation in a criminal organization.
