FAM fine JDT measly RM30k for tunnel incident


PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) has once again got off with just a slap on the wrist when the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) handed them a RM30,000 fine for failing to provide adequate security at the Larkin Stadium during their FA Cup second-round match against T-Team on Feb 1.

JDT’s failure sparked the infamous “tunnel fiasco” where T-Team striker Evaldo Goncalves, defender Fabio Flor de Azevado and fitness coach Stefano Impagliazzo alleged they were assaulted by a top Johor FA official and his bodyguard.
