Perumal ist wegen der Beteiligung an mehreren Spielmanipulationssystemen angeklagt, wie Asiagate (2007–2009) und dem finnischen Spielmanipulationsskandal (2008–2011). Das erste Mal inhaftiert wurde er im Jahr 1995 in Singapur wegen Spielmanipulation. Im selben Jahr reiste er im Namen eines singapurischen Spielmanipulationsbosses nach England um zwei FA-Cup-Spiele zu manipulieren. Seiner Autobiografie zufolge versuchten dabei er und sein Partner, , den Torhüter des FC Liverpool und Dmitri Charin, den Torhüter von Chelsea London zu bestechen. Beides misslang. Im Februar 2011 wurde Perumal in Finnland verhaftet und zu zwei Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. Er saß ein Jahr seiner Haftstrafe ab und wurde anschließend an Behörden in Ungarn übergeben. Während seiner Zeit im finnischen Gefängnis sprach er mit finnischen Behörden und enthüllte die Existenz eines globalen Spielmanipulationsnetzwerks aus Singapur. Er veröffentlichte eine Autobiografie über seine Jahre als Spielmanipulierer mit dem Titel Kelong Kings. Das Buch wurde gemeinsam mit den Enthüllungsjournalisten Alessandro Righi und Emanuele Piano verfasst und am 28. April 2014 veröffentlicht. In dem Buch behauptet er unter anderem, dass sich Nigeria und Honduras nur für die Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2010 qualifizieren konnten, weil er ihre Qualifikationsspiele manipuliert hat und dass er auch Wettbewerbe bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen 1996 in Atlanta und bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen 2008 in Peking manipuliert hat. Das Buch enthüllte außerdem komplizierte Details über die Manipulation von freundschaftlichen Aufwärmspielen im Rahmen der Fußball-WM 2010. Die Enthüllungen wurden von einem Bericht der FIFA bestätigt, Auszüge aus ihm erschienen in der New York Times, einen Monat nach der Veröffentlichung des Buches. (de)

Perumal is accused on several match fixing scandals, including Asiagate in 2007–2009 and the 2008–2011 Finnish match-fixing scandal. He was first jailed for match-fixing in 1995 in Singapore. In the same year, Perumal traveled to England on behalf of a Singaporean match-fixing boss to fix two FA Cup matches. According to his autobiography, Perumal and an associate attempted to bribe Birmingham's goalkeeper Ian Bennett and Chelsea's goalkeeper Dmitri Kharine, failing both times. In February 2011, Perumal was arrested in Finland and later sentenced to two years in prison. He served a year in Finnish prison and was then turned over to authorities in Hungary. Five years later Perumal was again in Finland and tried to buy Atlantis FC with a new name. During his stay in Finnish prison, Perumal spoke to Finnish authorities and revealed a global network of match-fixers based in Singapore. Blaming other members of the network for his arrest, he confirmed Dan Tan as the boss of his operation. Perumal may also have connections to the 2013 Europol match-fixing investigation. Wilson Raj Perumal has published his match fixing memoirs in a book titled "Kelong Kings", written with investigative journalists Alessandro Righi and Emanuele Piano; the book was released on 28 April 2014. In the book, Perumal claims not only to have ferried Nigeria and Honduras to the final rounds of the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup by fixing their qualification matches, but also to have rigged competitions in the Atlanta 1996 and Beijing 2008 Olympic games also in 2019. Wilson Raj Perumal's memoir also revealed intricate details about the fixing of a number of 2010 FIFA World Cup warm-up friendly matches involving South Africa, Bulgaria, Colombia, Guatemala, Denmark, Brazil and Tanzania. The revelations were confirmed by a FIFA report, excerpts of which appeared on the New York Times a month after the book's publication. Wilson Raj Perumal appeared in his first televised interview on 26 August 2014, on CNN. During the interview, he boasted about having fixed up to 100 games, including FIFA World Cup qualification matches. On 17 February 2015, the investigative journalism website Invisible Dog issued a press release stating that the film rights to the book Kelong Kings were optioned by Gianni Nunnari's Hollywood Gang productions, who were developing a feature film based on the match-fixer's autobiography. Later press releases from the Invisible Dog website stated that the film rights were then optioned by Boundary Stone Films, but that they also expired before reaching production stage. The rights to the story are currently with the authors of the book 'Kelong Kings'. On 19 February 2015, Al Jazeera English aired an investigative report called "killing the Ball", produced by Invisible Dog, in which Wilson Raj Perumal described how he ferried the Nigerian national football team to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa by rigging their qualification match against Kenya, played on 14 November 2009, in Nairobi. The report 'Killing the Ball' was a finalist of the British Journalism Awards 2015. (en)
