All eyes on Singapore's betting underworld...

Revelations that a Singapore-based crime syndicate has been heavily involved in fixing football matches around the world has put extra pressure on authorities in the Southeast Asian city-state to take action against the alleged ringleader.

The Singaporean businessman known as Dan Tan has been placed on Italy's wanted list and has been implicated in various investigations into football corruption, including Monday's revelations in The Hague by the European police agency Europol. He has avoided arrest in his homeland.
