Dan Tan Biography

Dan Tan is one of the most popular and richest Businessman who was born on April 29, 1964 in Singapore.

Tan was born on 29 April 1964, and did not graduate from secondary school. In the early 1990s, he spent less than a year in jail for illegal horse-racing and football bookmaking and, in 1994, fled Singapore after losing US$1.5 million on that year’s World Cup. He returned after he was allowed to pay off his debts in instalments.

In March, Tan spoke with the German magazine Der Spiegel via online chat. Regarding match fixing, he opined that “one has to proceed against these criminals”. He claimed never to have personally bribed a player but admitted providing “contributions” of up to €800,000 ($1.05m) and to losing $3 million in a failed attempt to fix a September 2001, match in Istanbul between Barcelona and Fenerbahçe. He had bet that there would be three or fewer goals during the match; when Barcelona took an early lead, his paid employees on the field sabotaged the stadium’s lights to force a cancellation. Instead, backup generators were quickly able to restore power. He claimed the most he had ever won was €15 million ($19.5m) for an Italian Serie A game.

The BBC reports that a “source close to the investigation” admits that there is not currently enough evidence to try Tan in Singapore, particularly since the two members of the syndicate whose testimony was responsible for his arrest refuse to testify in open court. No other jurisdiction with an outstanding warrant for his arrest has extradition agreements with the country. However, it remains possible that he could be held indefinitely: §44 of the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act permits a suspect to be held 16 days from the time of his arrest and §241 of the 1955 Prevention of Corruption Act permits him to be held up to a year without trial. Such a decision will be considered by the Ministry of Home Affairs and an advisory council before being personally made by President Halimah Yacob. Further, Singapore still does not formally acknowledge his detention and the year-long pretrial term can be extended by the authorities. He was released on appeal to the Court of Appeal in 2015.

Dan Tan served less than a year in jail in the early 1990s for illegal horse- racing and football bookmaking. He has admitted to having served as the director of the Singaporean company Exclusive Sports PTE Ltd, a rebranding of Football4U, which was founded by convicted match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal. Both companies arranged exhibition games and provided referees which have since come under suspicion for match fixing. Tan’s involvement with the company, however, was short-lived, lasting only from November 2010 to February

2011. He later professed he withdrew his investments upon discovering their dodgy practices. The span of his involvement parallels the company’s failed attempt to buy the right to showcase its players with the Finnish club Tampere United for €300,000. Tampere’s club has been indefinitely suspended since 11 April 2011 for its involvement.)
