A football bookie was detained by the Ma-laysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) to facilitate investigations into alleged match-fixing involving the T-Team President's Cup squad.
Terengganu MACC director Mohd Yusoff Mohd Zin said the suspect, in his 50s, was detained in Seremban at about 3pm on Wednesday.
“He has been detained until July 12 to assist investigations into allegations of match-fixing and bribery involving T-Team players and its management.
“We expect to wrap up the in-vestigations soon,” he said, adding that the probe was almost 80% complete.
“We have already recorded statements from the players, coa-ches and the team's management personnel.
“We will get to the bottom of the matter and ensure that the culprits involved will be punished,” he said.
It is learnt that the bookie has been operating for several years.
Mohd Yusoff also advised all parties to avoid speculating on the matter, saying it would not be helpful.
It was reported recently that a former T-Team player admitted to accepting bribes amounting to thousands of ringgit to fix matches during the Under-21 Prehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifsident's Cup competition last year.
The player is said to have been approached by teammates with the proposition to fix the outcome of their matches.
