Contrite Hungarian admits to match-fixing ahead of trial

Former defender Gabor Horvath has lifted the lid on the extent of match-fixing in Hungary, which has been a focus for investigators looking at global corruption in soccer.
The 29-year-old, who played for Hungarian top-flight teams Siofok and Diosgyor, now works in Dubai as a personal trainer but will return to his home country to go on trial with 45 other suspects.
“I could not avoid the match-fixing. I did bet on our games that were fixed, yes, I earned lots of money out of it but also spent it easily,” he told Hungarian media on Tuesday.
Horvath rowed back from previous comments that there were 500 players fixing matches in Hungary but still said the practice had been widespread.
“It is a pity that I was at the peak of my career when this disease flourished in Hungary, and I caught it too like so many others,” he added.
Last week Hungarian investigators finished a four-year probe into match-fixing in the country with the Nemzeti Sport newspaper saying 33 matches were involved in the trial.
Horvath, who was released from custody pending the trial, has already given written testimony.
“After the police arrested me, I spent an awful night in a jail where I thought over the whole story. I can only be angry with myself, only then I realised what I had done,” he said.
“I have no fear but I am not calm either. Not a day passes without thinking of the others who are still in jail. I have regrets, I lost almost all of my friends, but I told the truth to the investigators.”
No date has yet been fixed for the trial.
European anti-crime agency Europol caused consternation in football when it announced on Feb. 4 that some 680 matches were suspected to have been fixed in a global betting scam run from Singapore, although critics said many of the games were already known about.More

During our stay in Singapore we got in touch with a member of the match-fixing syndicate that prefers to remain anonymous.  He told us that Wilson Raj Perumal, currently detained in Hungary after spending a year in Finnish prison, was interested in speaking to us.  We gave the person our address.

From Hungarian prison, Wilson began a daily correspondence with us in which he stated his reasons for speaking to the press and in which he explained the workings of the Singaporean match-fixing syndicate of which he is a self-proclaimed shareholder.

“I am Wilson Raj Perumal”, he wrote, “I am presently in custody in Hungary”.

“I believe you are aware I am now at ‘war’ with Tan Seet Eng (the most wanted man in Italy) at the moment”.

Wilson stated that it was the boss of the match-fixing syndicate and his former superior, a Singaporean called Tan Seet Eng (aka Dan Tan), that set him up to be arrested by Finnish police while he was traveling to Helsinki on a false passport.  Wilson added:  “The Finnish police had passed a passport copy of Joseph Xie Tan to Mr. Chis Eaton of FIFA.  Mr. Eaton then did his investigation and noted Xie Tan was present together with Anthony in Anatolia.  Mr. Eaton then relayed this information to Zaihan Yussof, a Singapore reporter.  That was how the cat was out of the bag”.

Joseph Xie Tan and Anthony Santia Raj are two other former associates of Wilson and alleged members of the match-fixing syndicate headed by Dan Tan.  They were responsible for organizing international friendly matches in Anatolia, Turkey, between Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia and Bolivia.  These friendly matches were the object of a probe into match-fixing by FIFA’s investigator Chris Eaton.  Wilson claimed that Dan Tan, with the help of Joseph Tan and Santia Raj, fingered him to the Finnish police.

“I am sure you are aware of the circumstances on which I was arrested in Finland”, Wilson wrote, “Dan Tan and Anthony Santia Raj had worked together to have me arrested in Finland.  They had engaged the services of Joseph Xie Tan to execute this plan”.

He also added:  “All I want to do is to get even with Dan Tan.  My circumstances are such that the only tool I can use to even the score with Dan Tan is to go to the media and expose his criminal activity … I can assure you that what I am about to tell you is all facts and none of these are made up or exaggerated”.

We asked Wilson to explain the structure of the match-fixing syndicate and to reveal  the names of other individuals and companies involved in match-fixing.  Although Wilson refused to identify the financiers of the syndicate, he did agree to disclose information about his arch-rival Dan Tan:

TAN SEET ENG (AKA DAN TAN)

“I have known Tan by name since 1992″, he wrote, “and I wish to shed light on Tan’s history and how he came about to work with Italian players”.

“Tan started as an illegal horse racing and football bookie in the early 90′s”. 

“Dan Tan was an ex convict in Singapore.  In 1994 he fled from Singapore to save himself from being killed because he was not able to pay up a 1.5 million bet placed during a world up match in 1994″, Wilson wrote.  Then he added:  “He then agreed with the bookies to settle the outstanding by installment and returned to Singapore”.

Then Wilson explained that Dan Tan had taken over for the former head of the syndicate in 2008.  Wilson claimed that Dan Tan’s mentor is an indian businessman from Singapore named Eswaramoorthy Pillay, although he prefers to call him Mr. X.

“After the end of the Malaysia Cup in 1994 the syndicates began to venture into Europe”, wrote Wilson, “Dan Tan was a right hand man of the person you mentioned in your mail.  I shall call him Mr. X”.  Wilson then continued:  “Mr. X incurred in huge debts from his European partners and left Europe for good.  This is when Dan Tan took over for Mr. X.  He approached Mr. X’s friends in Europe and rekindled the business”.

ESWARAMOORTHY PILLAY

We did our own investigations on Eswaramoorthy Pillay and found out some interesting facts.  Pillay is presently charged with accounting fraud in Malaysia through his company Linear.  He is also an executive of a group called Stanton Technologies, based in Penang, Malaysia.  We were told that he had been involved in financing the Swiss teams FC Sion and FC Chiasso, where other members of the match-fixing syndicate (such as Almir Gegic) had played.  To verify the allegation we went to Chiasso FC’s offices in Switzerland hoping to speak to someone from the club.  There was nobody around so we took a look inside the building.  That’s when we made an interesting discovery.  One of the sponsors for FC Chiasso in the season 2007/2008 (when Almir Gegic was playing there) was Stanton, Pillay’s Penang company, their logo appears on the official team picture.  We were not able to reach Eswaramoorthy Pillay to ask him about Wilson’s allegations and about the company Stanton.

Next we decided to call the then-president of FC Chiasso, Marco Grassi, to ask him whether he had known Pillay.  Grassi was evasive but he did admit that a man named Eswaramoorthy Pillay had offered to finance the FC Chiasso club.  According to Grassi, Pillay never actually put any money in the club, yet the name of his Penang company appeared clearly on the official team photo…

We thus asked Wilson to tell us more about Mr. X, and he did:

“Tan was a right hand man of Mr. X who invested in the Swiss Club you mentioned (i.e. FC Chiasso).  During this time Singaporeans were only keen on fixing Malaysia Cup matches.  Match fixing was already rife in South East Asia in the early 80′s.  Rajendran Kurusamy (another alleged Singaporean match fixer) also known as Pal came into the picture and he was dictating the entire Malaysian league till 1994 when Singapore decided to pull out from the competition”.

Wilson continued:  “This is when Mr. X decided to venture abroad.  He started a bogus company and built relationships with people in Europe who were related to soccer.  During these trips Tan acted as his book keeper.  During one meeting in 1995 I suggested to Pal that we switch off the floodlights in EPL (English Premier League) matches in order to win the bets we places (The Asian betting allowed payments for matches that ended during the second half).  No one took it seriously at that time.  In 1997 Mr. X sold this idea to a Malaysian syndicate and the plan was executed.  There were matches in the EPL namely West Ham V Crystal Palace and Wimbledon V Arsenal where the floodlights were switched off to suit the result”.

Since Wilson was speaking of the floodlight scam, we asked him to explain the procedure better:  “I am surprised you are not aware of the floodlight incidents”, he said, “You will need the assistance of the technician in the stadium plus some other techniques to ensure that the lights are not turned back on.  More like a power failure”. 

Wilson also mentions that Dan Tan was responsible for the floodlights being switched off during a match between Fenerbache and Barcelona.

“Tan had placed bets on Fenerbache to win the match.  But the score-line read 0-4 in favor of Barcelona during the half time.  If the lights were to go off before the second half kick-off then the betting would be cancelled.  Tan switched the lights off but the stadium officials used a generator to re-activate the floodlights and this match backfired”.

Wilson then proceeded to explain how Dan Tan had taken over for Eswaramoorthy Pillay:

“Mr. X was a high roller in Casinos”, he wrote, “He became indebted to his European friends and gradually drifted away from the scene.  This is when Tan took over and went in search of Mr. X’s friends.  This syndicate began to grow bigger and bigger as they began to venture into more countries.  In this business you can’t sit and wait for the apple to drop.  You have to dig deeper and deeper to achieve results.  If you take a look at my mobile I can call people in all of the continents”.

Regarding Pillay’s relationship with FC Chiasso, Wilson concluded:  “Mr. X was funding and fixing by placing the players of his choice”, and, “yes.  Almir Gegic was a player in Chiasso”.

DAN TAN IN ITALY

Wilson decided to go into more detail on Dan Tan’s Italian feats:  “Some time in 2009 Dan Tan fixed the first of many Italian matches”, he wrote, “It was a Serie B Albinoleffe match.  Subsequently he also became a shareholder of this team”.

We attempted to check the Italian company register for the club Albinoleffe but were not able to find any tangible trace of Dan Tan’s involvement in the club.   Yet Wilson was unshakable:  “I can assure you Tan had a share in the Italian Serie B club”, he insisted.

Wilson then went on to say:  “In 2010 Dan Tan’s popularity grew and many Italians began to look for his services to place bets on Serie A and B matches.  The Italians were not aware that they were being used by Dan Tan.  The total amount of bets for a Serie B match can fetch up to 4 to 6 million Euros.  (If the players agree to go for both Handicap and total).  For a Serie A match the total bet can fetch up to 10 to 15 million euros for a single match if bets are placed on both handicap and total goals”.

Wilson then explained:  “This is where the Italians are made to look like fools.  Dan Tan only offers them between 600.000 and 800.000 for a match.  Dan Tan makes more money than the players who manipulate the matches.  The Italians are ignorant of this fact and being used.  In fact there are betting agents in Singapore who are able to provide 3 to 4 times more than what Tan Seet Eng can offer to these Italians who had manipulated the matches”. 

Wilson said that the syndicate would place their bets on Chinese betting sites:  “The bets were placed in China where the betting is a lot more different than Europe.  The Chinese have betting patterns where you make a single click on your mouse assuming 1000 dollars, they can have it multiplied by 20 which means your single bet can be multiplied 20 times.  Tan has access to this group of people who can offer him this exceptional betting facility.  The betting company survives by riding on your information.  Basically this is how the syndicate works”.

We asked Wilson how Dan Tan came in contact with these alleged Chinese accomplices:  “The Chinese came in contact with Tan through middlemen.  The Chinese came to know of Tan’s ability to fix matches and offered him a service to place bets for him on the matches he fixed.  Then gradually the volume became bigger and bigger”.

We insisted with Wilson so that he name more members of the syndicate and its mysterious financiers – if there were any aside from Dan Tan – but he said that he was afraid for his family’s safety in Singapore.

Wilson also suggested that the members of the syndicate are still meeting in Singapore:  “I hear all the syndicate members are hiding in Singapore.  They regularly play 5 aside soccer.  You can snap pictures of them if you go under cover and arrange a 5 aside match through Gaye Allasan who has a soccer academy.  Try your luck. Good day.  Wilson Raj”.

Unfortunately we had already left Singapore.  Yet we checked for football academies in Singapore and for the name Gaye Allasan.  We came up with a football academy called Football 4 U, located on 120 Lower Delta Road #07-08 Cendex Centre Singapore.  Football 4 U is also the name of a company used by Wilson Raj Perumal to organized fixed friendly matches between national teams.  The academy Football 4 U appears on the website of the FAS (Football Association of Singapore) and its director is a man called Gaye Alassane.  Our colleagues in Singapore, whom we asked to check the address, say that there is nothing there.

Wilson Raj Perumal claims that Dan Tan is still in business:  “He is actively fixing matches.  Venezuela V Moldova and El Salvador V Moldova lately.  Puerto Rico V Nicaragua.  What can FIFA do?”.More

Player regrets getting entangled with match-fixing

Posted on by
Reply

Soccer player Mario Cizmek thought it would just be one match. Ease up and let the other team win, he told himself, then collect the payoff and start paying off your debts.
But the broke and desperate athlete soon learned that one match wouldn’t do it. He would have to throw another game, then another, then another.
And so it went until, in what he described as his “worst moment,” he was arrested at his home in front of his two daughters on charges of match-fixing, frantically dialing his wife to take the children because police were hauling him off to jail.
“Twenty years of hard work I destroyed in just one month,” he said.
___
EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is part of a six-month, multiformat AP examination of how organized crime is corrupting soccer through match-fixing.
___
The Croatian midfielder was the perfect target for fixers: He was nearing the end of his career, his financially unstable club hadn’t paid him a regular salary for 14 months, and he owed money on back taxes and his pension.
Cizmek’s story is typical of how the world’s most popular sport is increasingly becoming a dirty game — sullied by criminal gangs like the one that bribed Cizmek, and by corrupt officials or others cashing in on the billion-dollar web of match-fixing.
An examination of Cizmek’s case turns up contrasting portraits of the 36-year-old with quick feet and an engaging smile.
One is of a victim — a player forced into match-fixing by an unscrupulous club and preyed upon by a shadowy former coach convicted of bribery, fraud and conspiracy in a Croatian match-fixing case and banned for life from soccer by FIFA, the world soccer body. That’s the picture painted by FIFPro, the global players’ union, which has used Cizmek’s story to warn players.
Croatian prosecutors, armed with reams of phone calls and text messages from police wiretaps, have a different take. At a match-fixing trial at the County Court of Zagreb, they portrayed Cizmek as the ringleader who got several FC Croatia Sesvete players to throw six games and tried to fix a seventh in spring 2010. The authorities said he organized the players, handed out sealed blue envelopes of euros, and promised that they could stop whenever they wanted.
Cizmek readily admits he delivered the payments but says it was only because his apartment was closest to the fixer. Looking back, he says, he realizes he was manipulated.
“Now I see that he didn’t want to be seen handing over the money,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press.
___
Cizmek joined FC Zagreb on a junior scholarship, signed at 18, and played there for eight years.
“Those were the best years. All my dreams came true,” he said. “I signed a professional contract and was among the better players. They thought highly of me. I was even a captain of this club.”
After stints in Israel and Iceland, he returned home to play for FC Croatia Sesvete in the country’s second league. In 2008, Cizmek scored the goal that sent his team into the top division. That goal benefited every player on the team and lined the pockets of the club’s owner, Zvonko Zubak.
But the team fell on hard times, especially with the European economic downturn.
The entire FC Croatia Sesvete locker room was in an uproar for months, with players trying to make ends meet, Cizmek said. A study by the FIFPro union reported that more than 60 percent of Croatian players do not get paid on time.
“We had no money, and we no longer spoke about training or football, but only about how we were going to survive,” Cizmek said.
“Every other day we would ask whether we would be paid, and they would say ‘Yes, on Monday.’ Then we say, ‘OK, on Monday,’” he said. But there would be no pay on Monday — only a promise to be paid Wednesday — and then no money that day either.
“It would go on for weeks,” Cizmek said, shaking his head.
One man who hung around the players offering advice and sympathy — and loans to those short on cash — was Vinko Saka, a former assistant coach for Dinamo Zagreb, the soccer powerhouse that has won Croatia’s national title every year since 2006.
Saka was always somewhere around the field or at the bars where the players gathered, Cizmek said.
A flashy figure in his 50s who drove a BMW X6, he promised to introduce young players to the dozens of foreign coaches and clubs he said he knew.
“He was always offering presents,” Cizmek said. “I had known Vinko for years. We were kind of friends. He was someone who was related to sports, whom I was seeing at the matches. He coached junior teams.”
Midfielder Dario Susak, then 22, testified that Saka suggested he could help him get a contract with a foreign club, then loaned him $2,550 at a high interest rate. Once he owed the money, Susak testified, Saka told him he would have to lose matches.
Unbeknownst to any of them, Croatian police were already running a wiretap on Saka after being tipped off by German investigators.
Croatian prosecutors said Saka bribed up to 10 people on Cizmek’s team, and another five tied to either FC Varteks or FC Medimurje.
Saka ended up being convicted of fraud, bribery and conspiracy and going to jail. His lawyer confirmed the plea bargain but wouldn’t discuss the case.
___
The deal involving Cizmek came together at Fort Apache, a steakhouse on the truck route between Zagreb, the Croatian capital, and Slovenia. Cizmek and his goalkeeper met there with Saka and two associates on March 25, 2010, to fix a game with FC Zadar two days later, according to players’ testimony and police transcripts.
Six players would get $24,220, although the money was not divided equally. One of the unwritten rules of match-fixing is that the goalkeeper gets the biggest share because his statistics suffer the worst blow; defenders get the next-biggest, midfielders get less and strikers often are not even included in the fix.
The result: Zadar won 2-1 as Cizmek, one of the best players, stayed on the bench. After the game, he said, he collected $2,550, bought his kids a bunk bed and stashed the rest away, saving up to pay an overdue tax bill.
Cizmek saw himself as a Robin Hood-sort of figure: stealing money from crooks to put food on the table for his teammates and their families who were being crushed by an unjust system.
The match-fixing train had begun rolling, and it would prove difficult to stop.
The stakes were raised for an April 3 match against FC Slaven Belupo, according to players’ testimony. This time it was $51,000 for eight players. They not only had to lose, but to do so by at least three goals. That enabled those in on the deal to win two bets in one match.
Cizmek’s team lost 4-0. Saka, however, delivered only $43,300, eight Croatia Sesvete players testified in court. Cizmek said Saka did not explain why.
The demands for an April 14 game against FC Rijeka were even greater: $51,000 to trail at halftime, a final score that included more than three goals, with the team losing by at least two goals, Cizmek testified.
Player Ante Pokrajcic testified that he was happy to have scored a goal until the team’s owner stormed into the locker room, cursing about the 1-1 halftime score. Only then did Pokrajcic realize the game had been fixed.
The team lost 4-2, but Saka delivered only about half of what was promised, according to players’ testimony.
The players were furious. In the next game, they won 3-1 against Inter Zapresic.
But another unwritten rule of match-fixing soon became clear to Cizmek: Once a player has fixed a game, he is trapped forever.
The criminal gang usually has enough evidence to get a player thrown out of the sport for life. Plus, the shame alone will keep him silent, and the fixer’s demands will keep escalating until the player quits, retires or gets caught. Some implicated in match-fixing have even committed suicide.
When Cizmek approached the goalkeeper and a midfielder about fixing an April 17 game against FC Lokomotiva, they refused. He handed the money back to Saka two hours before the game, he said.
“If I was really the ringleader, I could have made them do it,” he told the AP. “But I couldn’t do it. … We told them, ‘No more.’”
Saka exploded in anger but made sure not to bet, Cizmek said. FC Lokomotiva won 2-1 anyway, and Cizmek said he scored a goal “just for pride” in the second half.
For the last three games of the season, Saka went above the players’ heads to fix the game, according to players’ testimony. Those involved now included the coach and one of the owner’s sons — both of whom were convicted in the case.
“Saka came to me and said, ‘I have arranged everything higher up. If you want you can check with the son,’” Cizmek said.
Cizmek said he refused to deliver that message to the other players, making the son talk individually with each athlete. Other players confirmed his account in court. Cizmek said the fixer made sure not to involve the owner’s other son, a young player on the team.
With substantial bribes now going to the coach, the payouts for the players grew meager: $22,300 for seven players in the last game, according to testimony.
Overall, Cizmek earned $26,130 from match-fixing, not as much as goalkeeper Ivan Banovic ($37,600), defender Jasmin Agic ($35,000) or coach Goran Jerkovic ($33,000), according to the findings of the court in its sentencing document.
___
The season ended in early May but police did not come knocking until June 8.
Cizmek was arrested at his home and taken to Zagreb’s Remetinec jail, where he stayed until July 15. His wife handed police the $20,000 he had been saving for his tax bill. The bunk beds were all he had to show for his money.
He went on trial for match-fixing with 14 others.
With the wiretaps, prosecutors had a very strong case. Cizmek made a full confession, pleaded guilty and gave testimony to the players’ union against match-fixing. But he and the coach still got the longest sentence — 10 months.
The goalkeeper, the owner’s son and three others were given nine months; two players got eight months; and the youngest member of the team, a 20-year-old midfielder, got a seven-month suspended sentence.
They are now free, awaiting the result of their appeal.
Saka cut a plea bargain with prosecutors in which he was convicted of fraud, bribery and conspiracy to commit a crime against the public order and sentenced to one year in prison. The Zagreb court ordered him to pay back $58,800 of the $844,000 it estimated his fixing operation made in Croatia.
Saka served his time in jail and then went to Italy to be questioned in a match-fixing investigation there. His lawyer in Italy, Kresimir Krsnik, said prosecutors have six months to decide whether to press charges.
“Saka will answer any call from the court. He has given his statement there and returned home,” Krsnik told the AP.
Saka is back living in an affluent Zagreb neighborhood, driving around in his BMW.
___
Cizmek is trying hard not to be bitter.
Chain-smoking Marlboros at a Zagreb coffee bar, he dreads going back to jail.
“I was in there already, with murderers and rapists and drug addicts,” he said. “It was a scary place.”
He is angry that Saka got a much better plea deal than the players and doesn’t hold out hope for his appeal, which is pending.
He says his club still owes him salary but went bankrupt in 2012 and dissolved.
He works on his family’s organic farm, peddling jams and berry tea at farmers’ markets, but is just scraping by. In one of his last interviews with the AP, Cizmek mentioned his recent divorce, and worry lines around his eyes seemed deeper.
He mourns for his lost soccer career and doesn’t know what he will do with the rest of his life.
“I should have just taken my football shoes and hung them on the wall and said: ‘Thank you, guys’ and gone on to do something else,” Cizmek said.More

Robert LewandowskiBorussia Dortmund travel to Shakhtar Donetsk for this Champions League tie tonight as the champions of Germany meet the champions of Ukraine at the Donbass Arena.

The German side are unbeaten against Ukrainian opposition in European competition, winning five and drawing one of their sex meetings. They are doing well in their domestic league but trail Bayern Munich by 15 points in the Bundesliga and are unlikely to close that gap. These two teams are in fact pretty evenly matched and that shows in the odds with both teams at odds of 13/8 to come away with a win here.
