On Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin confirmed that Shandong Taishan player Sun Junhao had been criminally detained on suspicion of bribery of non-state workers. So, why is Son Jun-ho suspected of a crime? Will he be sentenced?
"I took money that I shouldn't have taken"
Following Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin again answered questions about Mr. Sun on Tuesday. Unlike a day ago, this time he gave an affirmative answer, "Recently, a South Korean citizen was criminally detained by the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Bureau in accordance with the law on suspicion of bribery of non-state officials. ”
Ji Yuyang, a well-known journalist, pointed out, "Most of the active players caught in this football sweep may be suspected of this crime. The players who were sentenced last time in Chinese football anti-gambling and anti-gambling were eventually convicted of bribery of non-state employees ”
Chen Yong, a reporter from "Football News", also said, "This is more serious, take money that should not be taken, and should also do things that should not be done." In fact, it is normal to think about it, if you just send money, as a weak party, there is no need to take it. ”
Why is it suspected of accepting bribes?
So, why is Sun Junhao suspected of bribery of non-state officials? Li Xuan, a well-known journalist, analyzed, "If you pay a bribe, it may be a problem of signing fees, and if you accept bribes, then you may really be suspected of match-fixing." ”
Media person Li Pingkang analyzed, "Sun Junhao and Kim Jing-do can be said to be closely related because of their language and cultural background, so he was taken away because he was implicated by Kim Kyung-do, especially considering that he was detained when he left the airport, indicating that he had already been controlled in advance, and he himself may have a hunch." ”
Will Son Joon-ho be sentenced?
The second question is whether Sun Junhao will be sentenced to imprisonment, as under article 163 of the Criminal Law, staff members who commit bribery of non-state officials are sentenced to up to three years in prison or criminal detention, and fined; where the amount is very large or there are other serious circumstances, a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years shall be imposed and a fine; Where the amount is particularly large or there are other particularly serious circumstances, the person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined.
Zhao Yu, a well-known journalist, pointed out, "Referring to the 2009 football sweep and anti-black storm, many people were finally sentenced for 'bribery of non-state employees', including those involved in match-fixing and black whistles." ”
In the last anti-gang storm, Shen Si, Qi Hong, Jiang Jin and Li Ming, four former international footballers, were all sentenced to six years for non-state officials for bribery, of which Shensi was sentenced to six years, the other three were sentenced to five years and six months, and all four were fined 500,000 yuan.
Why do brokers deny it?
After Sun Junhao's arrest, Sun's lawyer responded, "Although it is not known when he will be released, when he is released, it means that he has not committed any crime." ”
However, Li Pingkang denied such a view, "As for the South Korean side's claims, they are all from the player's agent team or family members, and the reason for giving Hao Wei a gift must sound a little better than being implicated by Kim Kyung-do!" ”
