Geneva authorities are investigating claims a fight club is being run at a cantonal training centre.

Staff at the Lullier Nature and Environment Training Centre in the commune of Jussy say they’ve heard that bets are also being made on the outcome of the fights. 

There are 400 students at the school, some are adults. Letters have been sent to parents which explains challenges were being made between students and then bets placed.

The school points out that this is illegal and those found to be involved could be expelled.
