FAM to lodge police report over falsified heritage player documents


PETALING JAYA: The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) will lodge a police report to identify the mastermind behind the falsification of documents involving seven heritage players who were suspended by FIFA.

FAM acting president Datuk Yusoff Mahadi said the association had taken note of the recommendation in the findings of the Independent Investigation Committee chaired by former chief justice Tun Md Raus Sharif.

"In the report, they stressed the need to lodge a police report because the committee has limited powers," he said after chairing FAM's executive committee meeting in Kelana Jaya here on Monday (Dec 22).

"We want the police to investigate how the document falsification took place and who was responsible, as recommended by the IIC.

"We will lodge the police report within the next one or two days," he added.
