Extradition move on syndicate Police are working to extradite overseas members of a multimillion dollar football match-fixing syndicate that has stunned Australian sport. The development comes as authorities examine whether match fixing has spread outside of the Victorian Premier League or involved the accused players' former clubs. The federal police are also understood to have been briefed about Victoria Police's Operation Starlings - which found players for Melbourne's Southern Stars football side had allegedly manipulated results for money - to have the AFP's international network assist tracking down syndicate members. Duped entire soccer federations: Wilson Raj Perumal. Police allege the syndicate was run by international match-fixing king-pin Wilson Raj Perumal. Associates of the syndicate, who had been expected to leave Australia later this spring, had already departed when police made a series of arrests over the weekend. Other syndicate members never set foot in Australia. Police believe about a dozen players from Hungary, England and Romania had contact with the syndicate. Four players, coach Zaya Younan and alleged fixer Segaran "Gerry" Gsubramaniam, who police described in court on Monday as the Australian "big wig" of the operation, have been charged with corruption offences. Charged: Goalkeeper Joe Woolley. The saga has raised questions about whether Australian administrators had done enough to combat the sport's exposure to corruption. A senior Football Federation of Victoria figure said the league had no proactive integrity measures in place to combat match fixing. The long-standing modus operandi of the syndicate behind the alleged fix in Victoria involves recruiting journeyman players to infiltrate cash-strapped clubs or leagues. "We never even knew that was a possibility but of course we know that now," the FFV source said. Charged: Reiss Noel. The arrests were made after the Stars played Richmond in the second-last match of the VPL season. Previous bets on Southern Stars matches had netted $2 million, police allege. A spokesman for Richmond, where Mr Younan was an assistant coach last season, said the club had no suspicion the Friday match was fixed. Police allege $150,000 was bet on a 0-0 draw. Mr Gsubramaniam, 45, faced 10 charges in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday. Mr Younan, and British players Reiss Noel, Joe Woolley, David Obaze and Nicholas McKoy also face eight charges. Four players were released pending further inquiries. Police allege the results of five of the Southern Stars' games between July 21 and last Friday - three of which resulted in 4-0 defeats, one a 3-0 loss and one a draw - were rigged, according to instructions from match fixers in Hungary and Malaysia. Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Scott Poynder, of the Purana Taskforce, said Mr Gsubramaniam, a Malaysian national, had admitted to police his part in the match rigging. Younan and some players had also admitted their roles in the scam. The court heard police had overheard Mr Gsubramaniam on more than 440 intercepted telephone calls over the past three weeks discussing fixed matches. Mr Gsubramaniam is in Australia on a tourist visa and had booked a flight to Malaysia last week that was due to leave on Monday. He had been overheard in calls inquiring about fake passports. Magistrate Jelena Popovic remanded Mr Gsubramaniam in custody to appear in court on Friday, along with the players and Mr Younan. All states and territories except for Queensland and Western Australia brought have made match fixing a criminal offence. with Adam Cooper
