Johor Football Association president Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has been named in a police report filed over a brawl in Johor last Saturday involving officials and players of two opposing Malaysian League teams.

Contacted by Malaysiakini , a Terengganu police spokesperson confirmed that Tunku Ismail, the Johor crown prince, was named in the report lodged by Terengganu’s T-Team player Fabio Flor.

H owever, Malaysiakini has been unable to confirm if the content of the report referred to by the police is the same as that in a report circulating online, even appearing on the Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) team Facebook fanpage.

It is claimed that two T-Team players, Brazilian imports Evaldo Gonçalves and Fabio, as well as fitness instructor Stefano Impagliazzo, were assaulted by officials from JDT during the half-time of their FA Cup match that took place at the Tan Sri Hassan Yunos Stadium in Larkin.

This led to the Terengganu half refusing to resume the match.

Bernama reported yesterday that T-Team had lodged four police reports over the matter.

"We have received four reports and a thorough investigation will be carried out. We will also record statements from witnesses who were at the scene of the incident," Terengganu police chief Jamshah Mustapa was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, confusion arose earlier as to whether Tunku Ismail was called to give his statement to the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) today after a photograph of him supposedly arriving at the Johor FA office was uploaded online.

The picture shows the crown prince exiting his luxury car outside the Johor FA headquarters, and is accompanied with the caption, "TMJ (Tunku Ismail) arrives at the Johor FA office to give his statement to FAM."

However, official state media Johor Times , which also uploaded the picture on its Facebook page, later changed the caption to “TMJ arrives at the Johor FA office to give his statement to lawyer”.

According to news portal Free Malaysia Today , FAM secretary-general Hamidin Mohd Amin denied the meeting took place.

Instead, Hamidin is reported to have said FAM would hold a meeting with the two teams and match officials on Thursday.
