SINGAPORE — The match-fixing trial involving Singaporean businessman Eric Ding Si Yang will resume on Oct 31 after the second tranche of the hearing ended today (Sept 3).
Ding is alleged to have bribed three Lebanese match officials by offering them sexual gratification from prostitutes in exchange for rigging a football match.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Sim Lai Hua from the Technology Crime Forensic Branch took the stand today, where he testified that he was tasked to retrieve encrypted emails from a Sony Vaio laptop.
The emails retrieved were identical to the ones Ding had purportedly sent to Lebanese referee Ali Sabbagh, with instructions on how to fix a match. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
