Perumal is accused on several match fixing scandals, including Asiagate in 2007–2009 and the 2008–2011 Finnish match-fixing scandal. He was first jailed for match-fixing in 1995 in Singapore.[3] In the same year, Perumal traveled to England on behalf of a Singaporean match-fixing boss to fix two FA Cup matches. According to his autobiography, Perumal and an associate attempted to bribe Birmingham's goalkeeper Ian Bennett and Chelsea's goalkeeper Dmitri Kharine, failing both times.[4] In February 2011 Perumal was arrested in Finland and later sentenced to two years in prison.[5] He served a year in Finnish prison and was then turned over to authorities in Hungary.[6] During his stay in Finnish prison, Perumal spoke to Finnish authorities and revealed a global network of match-fixers based in Singapore. Blaming other members of the network for his arrest, he fingered Dan Tan as the boss of his operation.[7] Perumal may also have connections to the 2013 Europol match-fixing investigation.[8] Wilson Raj Perumal has published his match fixing memoirs in a book titled "Kelong Kings", written with investigative journalists Alessandro Righi and Emanuele Piano; the book was released on April 28, 2014. In the book, Perumal claims not only to have ferried Nigeria and Honduras to the final rounds of the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup by fixing their qualification matches,[9] but also to have rigged competitions in the Atlanta 1996 and Beijing 2008 Olympic games.[10] Wilson Raj Perumal's memoir also revealed intricate details about the fixing of a number of 2010 FIFA World Cup warm-up friendly matches involving South Africa, Bulgaria, Colombia, Guatemala, Denmark, Brazil and Tanzania.[11] The revelations were confirmed by a FIFA report, excerpts of which appeared on the New York Times a month after the book's publication.[12] Wilson Raj Perumal appeared in his first televised interview on August 26, 2014, on CNN.[13] During the interview, he boasted about having fixed up to 100 games, including FIFA World Cup qualification matches. On February 17, 2015, the investigative journalism website Invisible Dog issued a press release[14] stating that the film rights to the book Kelong Kings were optioned by Gianni Nunnari's Hollywood Gang productions, who are developing a feature film based on the match-fixer's autobiography. On February 19, 2015, Al Jazeera English aired an investigative report called "killing the Ball",[15] produced by Invisible Dog, in which Wilson Raj Perumal described how he ferried the Nigerian national football team to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa by rigging their qualification match against Kenya, played on November 14, 2009, in Nairobi.
