Four former soccer stars of the Shanghai International Football Club were given jail terms of five years and six months to six years today for taking bribes to fix a league game.
Shen Si was sentenced to six years behind bars and Qi Hong, Li Ming and Jiang Jin received jail terms of five years and six months each. They were each fined 500,000 yuan (US$78,489), Shenyang Intermediate People's Court in northeast China's Liaoning Province said today.
A total of 8 million yuan in bribes the four players received will be confiscated, the court said.
Meanwhile, Nan Yong, the former director of the Chinese Football Administrative Center, was sentenced to 10 1/2 years in prison, a court in Dandong, another city in Liaoning, announced today.
Nan was fined 200,000 yuan.
Nan was charged with 17 counts of taking bribes.
Former Chinese soccer chief Xie Yalong was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison for taking bribes today by the court in Dandong.
Xie, who was charged with 12 counts of accepting bribes, which totalled more than 1.7 million yuan, said during April's court session that he had been tortured to admit to crimes, a claim that Liaoning police strongly denied.
Xie was also fined 200,000 yuan.
