    Football: Singaporeans guilty of UK match-fixing plot

    LONDON, June 17, 2014- Two Singaporean businessmen and a footballer were found guilty on Tuesday of involvement in a match-fixing conspiracy targeting English lower league games.

    Businessmen Chann Sankaran, 33, and Krishna Ganeshan, 44, were convicted of conspiracy to commit bribery, by a unanimous jury decision at Birmingham Crown Court in central England.

    Michael Boateng, 22, a former defender with sixth-tier side Whitehawk FC, was also convicted of the same offence.

    Jurors cleared fellow former Whitehawk player Hakeem Adelakun of the same charge.

    They are still considering a verdict on Moses Swaibu, who also played for the Brighton-based team.

    He is accused of a single count of conspiracy to offer, promise or give a financial advantage to other persons.

    All the defendants denied all the charges against them. (AFP)
