"Allegations of Illegal Searches and Improper Investigations in College Athlete Gambling Probe"
TL;DR
A veteran agent with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation accuses the agency of conducting illegal searches and misrepresenting the purpose of an investigation into gambling by student-athletes at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University. The investigation led to charges against fifteen student-athletes, but the DCI has since admitted that the actions were not criminal. Attorneys for the athletes are now questioning the impetus for the investigation, and court filings reveal accusations of warrantless GeoFence placement and deceptive tactics by DCI agents. The attorneys are seeking to compel the state of Iowa to release more information about the investigation.
