Three footballers in match-fixing probe remanded for seven days


PUTRAJAYA: Three Malaysian Premier League footballers have been remanded for seven days over suspected match fixing.

Magistrate Nik Isfahanie Tasnim Wan Ab Rahman ordered the three Malaysian Indian Football Association (MIFA) players to be held until Wednesday following a request by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The three arrived at the magistrate's court here at 10.15am Thursday, escorted by MACC officers.
They are being investigated under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act.
MACC’s initial investigation revealed that the players received bribes of between RM10,000 and RM30,000 from bookies to influence the outcome of matches during this season's Premier League campaign.
One of the players is an Argentine defender aged 29. The other two - a goalkeeper and a defender - are locals, aged 26 and 27.
