SINGAPORE: The Singapore Police Force (SPF) is working with Interpol in relation to recent claims of a match-fixing syndicate originating in Singapore.
SPF said that evidence of alleged match-fixing needs to be further developed in order for Singapore law enforcement agencies to take concrete follow-up actions against the alleged suspects.
That is why the SPF will send its officers to Interpol to assist in the current investigations and join the global fight against match-fixing and illegal betting in football.
The authorities reiterated that Singapore remains highly committed in the fight against match-fixing and other trans-national crimes.
If evidence of such crimes exist, the police will pursue the case vigorously to bring the perpetrators to justice.
