GERMAN police are investigating Jude Bellingham’s match-fixing comments made against referee Felix Zwayer.

The 18-year-old was left incensed when ref Felix Zwayer pointed to the spot at 2-2 with 13 minutes remaining against Bayern Munich on Saturday after the ball struck Mats Hummels' arm.

Robert Lewandowski converted the dubious penalty to condemn Bellingham's Dortmund to defeat.

And after the final whistle, the former Birmingham ace blasted: "For me it wasn't a penalty.

"Hummels is not even looking at the ball and he's fighting to get it.

"It hits him, I don't think he's looking at the ball. You can look at a lot of the other decisions in the game.

"You give a referee that has, you know, match fixed before, the biggest game in Germany… What do you expect?"

Now Sky Sports have confirmed that cops are looking into it his remarks after the German FA (DFB) also announced they were investigating the England international’s remarks.

The midfielder was referring to Zwayer's six-month ban by the German FA back in 2005 after a match-fixing scandal rocked the Bundesliga.

Discussing the penalty decision afterwards, Zwayer told Sky Germany: “The situation was a standard corner kick.

“I see in the game that it's about a touch by Hummels. The question for me was: Is the arm stretched away from the body or not? In real time, it was not clear whether his arm was moved towards the ball.

“I checked it with [VAR officials] in Cologne and then the arm position was checked.

“The video assistant made an assessment for himself and said that Hummels had his arm away from the body in an unnatural position.

“In the end, he clearly deflected the ball with his elbow and I came to the decision that it was a penalty.”

Now a criminal complaint has been filed and the case will be forwarded to the Dortmund public prosecutor's office.

They will determine whether there will be any criminal charges against Bellingham with a decision expected to be announced later on this week.
