It has been nearly eight months since the domestic soccer community launched a campaign to combat the forces of evil and anti-corruption. Within the FA system, 11 people have been formally taken away for investigation. The official release of information shows that we can no longer remain silent on this. And behind the scenes, we have to face up to jail time. Depending on the amount of money involved, each person's sentence will vary. Among them, Du Zhaocai, as the highest-ranking official arrested, who was once the deputy director of the General Administration of Sport, he may set a new record of prison term.
Inside the Football Association, Du Zhaocai's position is pivotal, with a lot of decision-making power, sometimes even let Chen Xuyuan also have to comply with.
Du Zhaocai served in the Football Association before Chen Xuyuan became its chairman. At that time, it was the golden era of the Chinese Super League's golden dollar soccer. This year, he was formally charged with serious violations of discipline, which suggests that during his tenure as party secretary of the FA a few years ago, he frequently used his position for his own personal gain.
According to media personality Qin Yun, at Du Zhaocai's insistence, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) voluntarily gave up hosting the Asian Cup in China this year. At the same time, the 7 million dollars of hosting fees for the Asian Cup's 10 major tournaments have disappeared, which may be directly related to Du Zhaocai.
It can be said that Du Zhaocai and Chen Xuyuan together stirred up the ecology of the Football Association, so that Chinese soccer once again fell into the doldrums, especially since 2002, the Chinese men's football team missed the perfect opportunity to enter the World Cup.
Du Zhaocai was taken away from the investigation has lasted three months, the outside world is also full of expectations for his next punishment.
Recently, media personality Ran Xiongfei exposed the latest progress in the fight against corruption in domestic soccer, revealing that the amount of money involved in the case of Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai, Li Yuyi and other former leaders of the Football Association is more than tens of millions of dollars, far more than the millions of dollars of Nan Yong, Xie Yalong and others in 2011, who will face re-sentencing of the criminal penalties.
These former leaders of the Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) have made use of their positions to amass illegal wealth amounting to more than tens of millions of dollars. You should be well aware that Nan Yong and Xie Yalong were previously involved in a maximum of more than 1 million dollars and were eventually sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.
Now that the amount of money involved in the cases of Chen Xuyuan and Du Zhaocai has increased by dozens of times, the sentences will inevitably exceed those of Nan Yong and Xie Yalong, breaking the record for sentences in the soccer world, which is no less than 10 years, and the most serious will be life imprisonment.
Previously, the People's Daily clearly pointed out that the anti-corruption campaign to fight "iron", but also to trace the "source", no matter who is involved, should be investigated to the end. Because only in this way, we can also Chinese soccer a fresh place, especially the Chinese men's soccer need light, rather than always in the dark.
