An anti-corruption storm is brewing in Chinese football, and the latest news shows that the anti-corruption campaign seems to have entered the interrogation stage, and no more important figures have been arrested. The high-profile anti-corruption case recently involved programmers Du Zhaocai and Li Tie, and the amount of money involved in Du Zhaocai's case has been announced, up to 40 million yuan.
Li Xuan, a well-known domestic reporter, revealed on his personal social media that the 40 million yuan is only the amount involved in the cash case, excluding other assets such as **, real estate, etc., so the case still needs to be further investigated.
Although this amount does not seem to be too large in the current situation of self-esteem, it is shocking in the case of **. Considering this matter, we can deeply appreciate its seriousness from two aspects.
First, compared with the wave of anti-corruption 12 years ago, the amount involved has exceeded the amount of Xie Yalong, Nan Yong and others by more than 20 times, and these people were sentenced to at least 10 years in prison because the amount involved was less than 2 million yuan.
Secondly, according to the provisions of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, an amount of more than 3 million yuan will be regarded as a particularly large amount and may be sentenced to the highest penalty, or even the death penalty. Therefore, the amount of money involved in Du Zhaocai's case has far exceeded the standard line of the death penalty by more than 10 times, which undoubtedly highlights the seriousness of the case.
Overall, Du Zhaocai turned into politics after retiring and held key positions in the Chinese Sports Association and Football Association. He had frequent exposure to illegal benefits in this case, however, unfortunately, he was not able to resist this **.
Especially after Chen Xuyuan and Li Tie were arrested, he did not relent, which is the fundamental reason why he was finally sentenced to prison.
