KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysian prosecutors have charged a Singaporean man with match-fixing at a youth football tournament.
R.K. Rajendran faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine if convicted. He is the second suspect to face the charge in Malaysia this month amid intensified efforts to combat corruption.
Malaysia's national news agency, Bernama, reported that Rajendran was charged in a district court Thursday with giving bribes totaling 1,200 ringgit ($400) to four players in northeastern Terengganu state while they were competing last year in Malaysia's President's Cup.
The court scheduled a preliminary hearing for June 30.
Earlier this month, a coach pleaded not guilty to handing nearly 25,000 ringgit ($8,000) to 11 of his President's Cup players.
