Step into 2023, China's football world, the sudden change of clouds, the relevant departments of the state decisive attack, launched a special struggle against corruption, anti-black, anti-gambling. A large number of officials, coaches, players, agents and club staff have been taken away by the police for investigation. The secretary of the Football Association, Du Zhaocai, the chairman, Chen Xuyuan, and the former national team coach, Li Tie, are among the most popular figures.
However, in this storm, there are still two mysterious forces that have not surfaced, one of which is the figure of "foreign aid". One of them is the figure of "foreign aid". Whether or not they can survive in this undercurrent has become the focus of everyone's attention.
Unsurprisingly, South Korean player Son Junho became the first foreigner to be taken away from Shandong Taishan in the Chinese Super League.
In the middle of the league, Sun Junhao suddenly left the team and was taken away by the police at the boarding gate. He was not the first person to be taken away from the Shandong Taishan team. Prior to that, Jin Jingdao and head coach Hao Wei had been out of contact for days; while Guo Tianyu raised eyebrows by suddenly missing the away game against Cangzhou.
Perhaps there was a rumor going around that Son Jun Ho had suddenly left the team during the course of the league and was preparing to return to South Korea with his family. However, the moment he was about to step onto the airplane, law enforcement officers suddenly appeared in front of him and took him away.
This scene happened on May 12, which is Sun Junho's birthday. And on the very day he was taken away, Shandong officials sent him birthday wishes.
Sun Junho's Korean manager also exonerated him through Korean media, saying "Sun Junho just sent his family back to China" and "there is no evidence to take too many people away", but at the same time, his Chinese manager was also taken away.
I'm afraid we still have to wait for an official statement on the Sun Junho incident.
The Sun Jungho incident has triggered a diplomatic furor and suspicions of bribery:
At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on May 15, faced with questions from foreign media about Sun Jungho, spokesman Wang Wenbin said he had not yet been informed of the situation.
However, the next day, after the South Korean consulate was allowed to meet with Sun Jun-ho, the foreign media once again asked spokesman Wang Wenbin about the matter, and this time received a clear response: it is understood that a South Korean citizen has recently been criminally detained by the public security organs of Liaoning Province in accordance with the law on suspicion of accepting bribes by a non-state functionary.
Wang Wenbin emphasized that China is a country governed by the rule of law and will handle the relevant cases in accordance with the law and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties concerned. The public security authorities of Liaoning Province have informed the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Shenyang of the situation and facilitated the consular officials in carrying out their consular duties.
In fact, Sun Jungho, suspected of bribery, has been placed in criminal detention, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded personally.
Sun Jun-ho is suspected of taking bribes, not "paying bribes" as the Korean media said before, which is of a very different nature. Bribery, commonly known as receiving money to play fake football.
Depending on the amount of the bribe and the gravity of the circumstances, the sentence for the "crime of passive bribery of non-State officials" varies from imprisonment of up to three years, to imprisonment of up to three years, to imprisonment of more than 10 years, or to life imprisonment.
While the amount of Sun Jungho's bribe and the severity of its impact are unknown, veteran Shanghai captain Shen Si was sentenced to six years in the last soccer sweep because he received a $2 million bribe.
Finally, I would like to share an egg: the KFA contacted the CFA to find out what happened to Sun Junho. However, no one was able to answer the KFA's queries as both the former and current CFA executives were under investigation...
