The Kuala Terengganu Magistrate's Court released a man who had been remanded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) since June 8 on connection with football match fixing.

The suspect, a businessman, was however re-arrested by MACC officers as he was walking out of the Court Complex in relation to another case.

According to the suspect's counsel, Alias Abdullah, his client was re-arrested under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering andAnti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.

Local media had previously reported that a former coach of the T-Team's squad for the President's Cup as allegedly having confessed to receiving thousands of ringgit in bribes to fix matches last year.
