Brasileiro club Chapecoense has been fined and penalized two points for "failing to fulfil" its last fixture of the season against Atlético Mineiro, according to Jacob Murtagh of the Scotland DAILY RECORD. The club was "plunged into mourning when 19 players were among 71 killed in a plane crash." Only three players -- defender Alan Luciano Ruschel, reserve keeper Jackson Ragnar Follmann and center-half Helio Hermito Zampier Neto -- "were named among only six survivors of the accident." The Superior Court of Justice has "decided to punish both clubs for failing to fulfil the fixture" and Chapecoense has been fined €28,300 ($30,100) (DAILY RECORD, 12/12). The BBC reported the Bolivian authorities have "detained a second suspect" in connection to the air crash. Prosecutors said that Gustavo Vargas Villegas, a former aviation authority official, is "being held on charges of misusing his influence by authorizing a licence for the doomed plane." His father, who is also in detention, "was one of the owners of the charter airline that operated the plane." Both have "denied any wrongdoing" (BBC, 12/10).
