JAKARTA - The Indonesian National Police (Polri) has found indications of fraud in match fixing in the Indonesian League competition. The National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, has ordered the Anti-Mafia Ball Task Force to investigate the allegation.
Chairman of the All-Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir asked the Anti-Mafia Police Task Force so that the process of taking action against the football mafia is expected to run transparently. According to Erick, law enforcers can move based on real evidence and no longer assumptions.
"We hope that the process that occurs will be transparent with data evidence, so it is not assumptions or guesses but based on data," said Erick.
The man who is also the Minister of SOEs said that the data that had been pocketed by the police and FIFA was a concrete step to fight the football mafia in the country. He said that firm action against the football mafia was very important to create a clean football climate so that Indonesia was respected by Southeast Asia.
"Because this is important for us to encourage our league to become number one in Southeast Asia and create a national team that is very responsible so that it achieves good achievements," said Erick, as quoted from Antara.
However, Erick said that the process or punishment in PSSI was different from the police. He explained that PSSI would take firm action against all those involved in fixing the score so that they could no longer be involved in the field of football for life.
According to Erick, this is a commitment to transformation of Indonesian football as expected by FIFA and the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo.
"We have agreed that players, referees, owners, administrators including me, if there is a joke, we cannot be involved in the world of football for life. If basketball can be done, the number one football period will lose," said Erick.
