S-League culprits charged
SINGAPORE. Apr 5: Three Singaporeans have been charged with soccer match-fixing and four players mentioned in the court charges have been asked to stay away from the city state’s annual league, a report said today, reports AFP.
Businessman Rajendran Ku-rusamy. 37. and his former employee. Ramadas Eurulandi , Sangelee, 40. claimed trial to a
total of six ■ charges each of bribery and criminal conspiracy in last year's league. The Straits Times daily reported.
A third person, identified in court as Wilson Raj Perumal. 31. faces three bribery charges but he is on the run.
Rajendran also faces an additional four charges of offering 10.000 Singapore dollar (7,142 US dollars) bribe to a referee, and 180.000 dollars to two footballers to help him fix matches. A third footballer was offered an unspecified sum.
District judge Vincent Hoong fixed bail at 500.000 dollars for both men pending trial, to be held soon.
The maximum penalty for corruption is a 100.000 dollars fine and up to five years jail.
The Singapore League board meanwhile had directed the clubs of the four players mentioned in the charges preferred by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) not to field them in the ongoing league.
The four players are ex-na-tional goalkeeper Bashir Khan, midfielder D Devaraj and defenders A R J Maran ant T Ar-avinthan.
S-League chief executive
Douglas Moore however made it clear that "the board's decision on the matter is not an implication that the players mentioned in the charges are guilty of any impropriety."
He said the decision was the league's endeavour to ensure that all remaining matches were contested evenly with all players giving full commitment to the game.
Moore said the S-League was always supportive of the CPIB’s efforts to "clean up" the game.
He said: "It's better the cleansing be done now than later. It will send a clear signal to the local and foreign players in Singapore that they should get on with the game and avoid involvement with criminal elements that can only bring disrepute to a sport that is followed by many Singaporeans."
Singapore introduced its own annual league in 1996 after pulling out from a more elaborate league in neighbouring Malaysia, following accusations in Kuala Lumpur that Singapore was not doing enough to stem match-fixing.
Former Singaporean striker K Kannan was jailed for 18 months and a local club official Jailed for 30 months for soccer corruption in 1995.
Lebanese-born Australian-player Abbas Saad, another Singaporean football star, was fined 50.000 Singapore dollars for soccer corruption in the same year.
A protracted bribery scandal that surfaced in Malaysia in 1995 led to the arrest of more than 150 Malaysian footballers and officials. Many were banned from competitive football.
