The investigating committee of the EBL has completed its examination of material relating of the partnerships of Fisher-Schwartz (Israel), Fantoni-Nunes (Monaco) and Piekarek-Smirnov (Germany).

After receiving the reports, the EBL President Yves Aubry decided to complain these 3 cases to the EBL Disciplinary Commission. The Chairman of the EBL Disciplinary Commission Jurica Carić, in relation with the pairs suspected of infractions to the laws of Bridge, has fixed the schedule of the hearings at the Headquarters of the EBL in Lausanne:

– April 14: Piekarek-Smirnov

– April 15 & 16: Fisher-Schwartz

– May 25 & 26: Fantoni-Nunes

On request of the EBL President, the Investigating Committee of the EBL continues to investigate on other pairs. A report concerning Balicki-Zmudzinski (Poland) has been asked by the President for the end of March.
