Recently, an anti-corruption storm has arisen in Chinese soccer, and the gambling problem cannot be ignored. The campaign stems from two important directives clearly issued by the Director General of the State General Administration of Sport at an official meeting some time ago.
One of them is to resolutely conduct a thorough investigation into corruption in the sports sector, especially in the soccer sector, and never tolerate any corrupt practices. At the same time, the shady business of fake gambling in soccer should also be seriously pursued, and no suspected persons should be spared. As a result, the official investigation team acted swiftly and recently arrested a number of major cases, in which a number of players were taken away from the Chinese Super League teams of Shanghai Shenhua and Taishan, as well as a retired famous player who mysteriously disappeared.
These six incidents occurred in quick succession and shocked many fans. But just recently, as the anti-corruption campaign deepened, two bombshells were revealed on social media, triggering a new round of arrests of "big fish". The six people who were previously taken away or disappeared seem to be nothing more than "small fry" at the moment.
Media personality Zhao Zhen revealed on social media platforms, "Many Chinese Super League players are still being taken away for investigation today, and this time the gambling problem will be fully eradicated." From his words, we know that the number of players involved in this incident may be more than 10, compared with the previous five or six, the scale is not comparable.
In this case, there is speculation that Kim Kyung Do may have given up his accomplices and more arrests are expected. What's more interesting is that with a large number of players in the net, there is a fear that more team executives will be implicated if they give up in a chain of internal confessions, so let's wait and see what comes next.
Meanwhile, Li Xuan, the director of the soccer newspaper, has also revealed information about corruption related to Chen Xuyuan's son. Previously, Li Xuan had pointed out that Chen Xuyuan's son was suspected of corruption and could not get away with it. Recently, in response to fans, he made it clear that Chen Xuyuan's son is involved in contracted corruption amounting to tens of millions of dollars, and that once he is convicted, he will face far more charges than the likes of Li Tie and others, and is afraid that his youth will be buried.
As we enter March, good news is coming out of the soccer world, and the anti-corruption campaign has achieved remarkable results. We look forward to the official investigation team continuing to dig deeper to completely remove the tumor of gambling and corruption.
