Singaporean gets jail for bribing referees
Print Edition
SINGAPOREAN businessman Eric Ding Si Yang was sentenced to three years in jail yesterday after being found guilty of bribing three Lebanese referees with prostitutes to fix a match.
Ding, 32, was found guilty last month of the offence prior to an AFC Cup fixture between Singaporean side Tampines Rovers and East Bengal of India in April 2013. Last year, FIFA referee Ali Sabbagh was sentenced to six months in a Singapore jail after admitting having sex with a woman hired by Ding. Assistant referees Ali Eid and Abdallah Taleb were each sentenced to three months in jail. All three were replaced for the fixture.
