39-year-old national level referee caught! Tens of thousands of illegal profits ran to Thailand and wore national football uniforms when they were caught

In the blink of an eye, China's football anti-corruption crackdown has been going on for five months. Starting from former national football coach Li Tie, one big fish after another surfaced. Liu Yi, executive member and former secretary general of the Football Association, Chen Yongliang, executive deputy secretary-general of the Football Association and minister of the State Management Department, Chen Jiayuan, chairman of the Football Association, Wang Xiaoping, director of the Discipline Committee of the Football Association, Huang Song, director of the competition department of the Football Association, Yu Hongchen, former vice chairman of the Football Association, and Dong Zheng, former general manager of the China Super League, have been supervised and investigated successively. It wasn't until Du Zhao was taken away that the storm in Chinese football reached its climax.

However, to the surprise of fans, the major posts of the Chinese Super League are safe and sound. Although there was news as early as the end of March that referees might be taken away at a training meeting of more than 200 people, half a month has passed and the referee community is safe. Previously, famous whistles such as Ma Ning and Fu Ming that everyone paid the most attention to were active on the green field, and Ma Ning was basically determined to blow the opening game of the Chinese Super League. On the eve of the start of the Chinese Super League, a national level referee who had absconded for three years was arrested in Chengdu. Ironically, the referee was still wearing the jacket of the national football team when he was caught.

According to Red Star News, Chengdu police arrested a criminal suspect Liu who had absconded in Thailand for three years on April 3. Three years ago, Liu defrauded more than 10 million by selling fuel cards and absconded to Thailand. It is understood that Liu served as a referee of a football association in Shaanxi and is a national first-level referee. In 2019, Liu met the victim Wei through a partner of the company, and he gained the trust of the victim Wei through some ways, and then forged Wei's power of attorney and the official seal of the oil company, and illegally profited by double-faced fraud. When the victim Wei found that he could not contact Liu, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and immediately called the police, but by this time Liu had absconded to Thailand.

In the past two years, Liu has done the same many times, and one of the victims lost 6 million. Finally, with the close cooperation of the relevant departments of the two places, Liu was brought to justice, and what awaited him was the severe punishment of the law. According to the information of the referee of the football project on the official website of the Shaanxi Provincial Student Sports Network, the referee is Liu Shun, born in 1984, which coincides with his 39-year-old information. Liu was awarded the Excellent Referee in the 2016-2017 National Youth School Football League, but the unit showed "individual". It is worth mentioning that Liu lived a very dashing life in Thailand, not only married a wife and had children, but also used the illegally profitable money for gambling, and the reason why he embarked on the road of no return was precisely gambling.

Although Liu is not directly related to the anti-corruption and anti-counterfeiting of Chinese football, he is one of the practitioners of Chinese football after all, and his experience has also sounded the alarm for Chinese football practitioners. You know, there are many international players who are involved in gambling or match-fixing who were taken away in this storm, such as Kim Kyung-do and Zhang Lu. And Wu Xinghan and Dai Lin, who were outside, also fell into a similar storm for a while. Such a situation is a great discredit to the image of Chinese football. The attitude of the relevant departments is very resolute, that is, to completely eradicate the cancer of Chinese football, and the determination can be seen.

Fortunately, Chinese football still has a pure land, such as Sun Wen and Gao Hongbo, the two vice presidents of the football association, who have stuck to the bottom line. In the new leadership of the Football Association, Sun Wen and Gao Hongbo were reused. Among them, Sun Wen is responsible for foreign affairs and women's football, and Gao Hongbo is responsible for the national team and referee. The safe retirement of Liu Tiejun, former director of the Football Association's refereeing office, seems to mean that Chinese football referees have been justified in the past decade. As for the future, I hope that the referees will not forget their original intention and strive for fairness and impartiality in the game. As fans, we would rather see Chinese football being torn down than see Chinese football get by.
