Life sentence for former China Football Federation number 1 for corruption. Chen Xuyuan convicted, pocketed 11 million in bribes.
Another case that has shaken Chinese football is that of South Korean international Son Jun-ho, arrested last May "on charges of accepting bribes from non-state employees". Seoul's Foreign Ministry reported Monday that Son had been released and returned home, bringing closure to a story with many dark aspects. The list should also include that of former national coach Li Tie, very close to Chen, at risk of conviction.
