FILE - A June 22, 2011 photo from files showing Singaporean, Wilson Maj Perumal, sitting in the Lapland district court in Rovaniemi, Finland. Police say they arrested convicted match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal of Singapore on an international warrant last week in Finland, where he was given a two-year prison sentence in 2011 for bribing football players in the Finnish league. Detective Superintendent Jari Nieminen of the National Bureau of Investigation said on Wednesday, April 23, 2014, that officers were examining the warrant, but declined to give any more information. After his 2011 arrest in Finland, Perumal stunned European investigators with rare and invaluable details on international match-fixing and bribing, entailing hundreds of games and millions of euros. He claimed to have paid off footballers in Syria and Africa and fixed games in the United States. Perumal served a year of his sentence in Finland before extradition to Hungary, where he was a &quot;controlled informant&quot; under house arrest.
