[The Disappearing Boy]

What was the difference between Higgins alleged crime, and Hann's ?

Reads like the same ( agreeing to fix, but not following through with it ).

I always thought Hann's was drug related, but reading the report, it was 8 years for

"knowingly entered in an agreement to join in an unlawful enterprise to fix results for financial gain."

but that,

"The newspaper ( The Sun ) did not go through with any agreement with Hann, but just by agreeing to lose, he was in breach of rule 2.8."

I'm not asking to re-inforce my own belief btw, just don't know the full circumstances.

Hann was more than willing to do it again. When The Sun (whose reporters stitched Hann up) didn't pay him, and the match he was supposed to fix went ahead genuinely, Hann contacted them again, to try and arrange another fixed match. I think that's why he was hit harder.
