As the opening day of the Chinese Super League approaches, this wave of "anti-corruption storm" in Chinese football seems to have come to an end. As the highest-ranking football association official arrested in this operation, Du Zhaocai's fall surprised many people. Not long ago, many media people exposed Du Zhaocai's crimes, if these charges are confirmed, then what awaits him will be an unprecedented heavy sentence!
According to media person Ran Xiongfei's revelations, under Du Zhaocai's initiative, when bidding for the Asian Cup, each of the 10 winning cities paid a fee ranging from 15 million to 30 million to the Chinese Football Association, which went into a pocket called the "Asian Cup Preparatory Committee", and in more than a year, the organization spent nearly 70 million yuan. Subsequently, after Du Zhaocai decided to give up the right to host the Asian Cup, each city that paid the preparation fee could only refund about 8 million yuan, and the part spent, the Chinese Football Association could not give evidence that could stand the scrutiny!
In addition, during the construction of the Asian Cup venue, it is necessary to lay turf that meets the international competition according to the standards of the AFC. According to Ran Xiongfei, the companies that won the bid in the end all have a certain relationship with Du Zhaocai's relatives. The price of the turf was raised by them, and the price soared directly, and the quality of the turf could not be verified. The corruption involved can be understood by everyone if you think about it.
Du Zhaocai's other major crime is the disappearance of the 1.8 billion transfer adjustment fee. In order to curb the crazy recruitment of the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Football Association introduced a "transfer adjustment fee" policy in 2017, if the club's recruitment price exceeds the upper limit set by the Football Association, it must pay the same transfer adjustment fee as the transfer fee to the Football Association, before this strange policy was abolished, the Chinese Football Association used this to accumulate a total of 1.8 billion yuan!
In 2021, many clubs are in trouble, and those that have paid the transfer adjustment fee hope that the FA will refund the fee so that the team can tide over the difficulties. But at this time, everyone found out that this money was gone! As the actual manager of the Chinese Football Association, Du Zhaocai must have an unshirkable responsibility for this, such a huge fund transfer, without his permission, it is certainly impossible to flow out of the account of the Football Association, if Du Zhaocai has a crooked mind on this fee, then what awaits him will be unprecedented severe punishment!
More than a decade ago, there was also an anti-corruption storm in Chinese football, when Nan Yong, Yang Yimin and others who received the heaviest sentences were sentenced to 10 years and 6 months. Today's wave of anti-corruption in football, whether it is the amount of money involved or the officials involved, is far more than the last time. If Du Zhaocai is found to be involved in the case with an amount of 100 million yuan, then I am afraid that he will be sentenced to life, and the days to come will be spent behind bars!
