Trio convicted of fixing
Print Edition
TWO Singapore businessmen and a lower-league player were convicted yesterday of plotting to fix matches in the bottom tiers of English football.
A Birmingham Crown Court jury deliberated for more than 12 hours before finding Chann Sankaran and Krishna Ganeshan, guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery. Michael Boateng, a former defender for Whitehawk FC in the non-league Conference South division, was also found guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery following the four-week trial. The jurors cleared another player, Hakeem Adelakun, of the same charge. The jury was still considering a verdict for a third player, Moses Swaibu. The three played for Brighton-based Whitehawk in the sixth tier of English football. They were arrested in December following an undercover operation by the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
