FIFA asks Der Spiegel to hand over match-fixing documents

RIO DE JANEIRO, (Reuters) – FIFA has asked German magazine Der Spiegel to hand over all the documents it says it has regarding the claims of convicted match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal that Cameroon players threw their World Cup group games.

FIFA has refused to make any comment regarding the allegations that some Cameroon players fixed the results of their three Group A matches, which all ended in defeat, nor would it confirm or deny it was investigating the claims.

Ralf Mutschke, FIFA’s head of security, cast doubt on Perumal’s claims on Wednesday and said the ruling body wanted to see what proof Der Spiegel had.
