Heritage of football players a technical issue, not under MACC jurisdiction


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has confirmed that it has found no elements of wrongdoing under the country’s anti-graft laws in connection with the alleged forgery of registration documents for seven heritage players submitted by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) to FIFA.

In a statement issued on Sunday (Sept 28), the MACC said its review showed the issue was technical in nature and outside its jurisdiction, bringing a crucial development in a saga that has shaken Malaysian football over the past week.
