Hungary has charged 45 people, including one Singaporean, as part of a probe into alleged football match-fixing.

Prosecutors said the Singapore national and 44 Hungarians had allegedly rigged games in Hungary, Italy, Finland and two international fixtures.

The accused face sentences ranging from two to 16 years in jail.

Investigators revealed that among those charged are current footballers, referees, club owners and even managers.

European police body Europol said in February that hundreds of games worldwide had been targeted by match-fixers linked to crime syndicates in Singapore.
