The Chinese don't play around when it comes to sentencing wrongdoers 🥵, and for a country that I dont really consider as a footballing nation .this is a harsh punishment to be honest, why not go for a hefty fine and a couple of years behind bars so that when they serve they can be the ambassadors to dicourage their fellow professional footballers from this bad business practice that seems to be growing all around the world...
Am just hoping these are the big fish and not some agents being implicated.
Well the thing is, in China not only is match fixing obviously against the law but also gambling. So the culprits in question basically got double the punishment because of double the damage. A life sentence is truly crazy and over the top but they took the risk and got caught, if you do this in a place like China then god be with you.
That's what you need to be aware of if you do something like this in China unfortunately, officials ( also obviously corrupt as fk ) don't play around when something like this happens. Guess the guys didn't pay off enough people.
