The full story of corruption in Chinese soccer has been revealed.

"Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese national soccer team, paid a bribe of 3 million dollars (about 3.9 billion won) to be appointed to the national team," China's CCTV reported in an anti-corruption documentary on Tuesday (South Korea time).

Corruption in Chinese soccer is serious. In November 2022, the national team's coach Li Tie was arrested after resigning amid a match-fixing scandal and bribery allegations.

He was arrested at the Dalian Sports Center Crowne Plaza Hotel. This was the beginning of a crackdown on corruption in Chinese soccer.

In the process, South Korean national soccer team player Son Jun-ho (Shandong Taishan) was also arrested in May last year and is still in detention. The exact charges or reasons for his arrest have not been disclosed.

The state-run CCTV, which mirrors the intentions of the Chinese Communist Party, recently released a documentary titled "Persistent Efforts, Deepening Development," which focuses on the realities of corruption and anti-corruption in Chinese society as a whole.

In addition to Li Tie, the film features former Football Association President Chen Xuiyuan and former General Administration of Sport Deputy Director Du Zhaochai, who have been labeled by the Communist Party as the corruption triad in football.

Coach Li Tie, who first paid a huge bribe to become the national team coach and then intervened in the selection of players, said, "I should have walked the right path, but I regret it." 카지노사이트777

Former Football Association president Chen Shiyuan then bowed his head, saying he would "apologize to the fans." Deputy Director Du Zhaochai said, "I was paid to take care of the owners' convenience."

The amount of the bribe was revealed by Li Tie. "He paid a bribe of $3 million to get the job of national team coach," said Li Xuan, a Chinese journalist featured in the documentary.

"Three million dollars may seem like a lot, but it's not, it's an investment. Of the initial $3 million, $2 million came from Mr. Littier's former team, Wuhan Juez, and only $1 million came from the coach himself."

These bribes have since been returned. During his time at the helm of the national team, Li amassed a huge amount of wealth by promoting certain brands and recruiting players from agencies for money.

"In fact, even if he didn't cheat, Li Thier's salary from the national team alone was more than a bribe," says Li Xuan. If you look at the national team contract, Mr. Littier received $8 million (about 10.5 billion yuan) in salary alone. If the team performed well, the championship bonus alone was $12 million (about 15.8 billion yuan)."
