Kelong king Wilson Raj Perumal has denied any involvement in Australia’s Victorian Premier League kelong scandal, which has seen six individuals connected with the Southern Stars football club charged in a Melbourne court on Monday.

The winnings from the allegedly fixed matches paid out by Australian and overseas betting companies is estimated to be more than A$2 million (S$2.3 million).

One of the men involved is said to be Segaran G. “Gerry” Subramaniam, a Malaysian who allegedly acted as point man for Wilson Raj, who is currently in Hungary assisting authorities with match-fixing investigations.

But Wilson Raj, 46, told TNP yesterday that he did not know Subramaniam or anyone else who had been charged and refuted accusations that he was involved in the scandal.
