Man jailed 30 months for match-fixing activities at SEA Games

This article is more than 12 months old

An Indonesian national was jailed 30 months on Tuesday (July 21) for attempting to fix a  football match during the recent Southeast Asian Games held in Singapore.

Nasiruddin, 52, a former referee, had conspired with a Singaporean, Rajendran R Kurusamy, and Timor Leste national Moises Natalino De Jesus to bribe the Timor Leste football federation technical director.

The three men had offered $15,000 to Orlando Marques Henriques Mendes on May 28, and he agreed to arrange for his team to lose the SEA Games match against Malaysia.

Malaysia won 1-0.

Nasiruddin was a registered referee from 1994 until 1997, when he was hit with a 10-year ban for accepting bribes.

Rajendran, Moises and Orlando's cases are pending and pre-trial conferences have been scheduled for their cases.
