PETALING JAYA: Four former footballers from the 2010 President’s Cup have been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in connection with an ongoing match-fixing court case.
According to sources, the four were detained after they gave contradictory statements in court compared with the statements they gave the MACC two years ago.
“All four, in their 20s, were detained in the Terengganu MACC headquarters at about 2.30pm,” said the source yesterday.
It is learnt that the four players were from an east coast team and witnesses in the court case that involved a bookie. The four are expected to be charged with making false statements. Terengganu MACC director P. Ganason confirmed the arrests.
