AN "academy of match-fixers" operating out of Singapore could be responsible for rigging matches around the world, FIFA's head of security Chris Eaton said yesterday.
Eaton, who worked for Interpol for more than a decade before joining world soccer's governing body, told Singapore's The New Paper that a global investigation into match-fixing saw many of the lines of inquiry focused on the Southeast Asian city-state. "Singapore seems to feature a great deal in these (match-fixing) allegations," Eaton said. "I form the conclusion that Singapore seems to have an academy of match-fixers, and that many of the inquiries we're making on behalf of FIFA are coming back to Singapore."
