WANTED the past 22 months by the Singapore authorities for match-fixing, Wang Xin, the former Liaoning Guangyuan football general manager, has been arrested in his native China on similar charges.
Yesterday, Chinese news agency Xinhua announced that the 41-year-old was apprehended along with 15 other players, coaches and association and club officials for match-fixing in the country.
They include ex-Liaoning coach Ding Zhe, who was not implicated with Wang in the 2007 Liaoning corruption saga, which remains the S-League's biggest corruption scandal with seven players from the now-defunct club fined and jailed.
