AN anonymous letter has again blown the whistle for Chinese football, accusing a top official of receiving bribes from Nan Yong, the former head of China's Football Association who is in detention.
The letter was sent to sports reporters yesterday, accusing an official in the State General Sports Bureau of having received money from Nan Yong, who was arrested on March 2 for bribery.
The anonymous whistle blower also included several details of Nan's actions to increase the letter's credibility.
Meanwhile, the new head of the CFA confirmed today that three referees, Huang Junjie, Lu Jun, and Zhou Weixin, who were reported missing 10 days ago have been officially arrested after police procured solid evidence of them taking money in exchange for preferential treatments.
After the three were arrested, more than 200 Chinese soccer officials were sent on a five-day anti-corruption re-education campaign.
Six clubs were implicated in the match fixing scandal involved with the three referees and all of them are in the Super League.
The authority did not say what the six clubs are. But Shandong Luneng, a two-time champion of the Super League, attracted the most suspicion because its former manager Dong Gang was taken by police for questioning.
