What’s new: A former vice president of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) is among four ex-soccer officials who have been sentenced for bribery this week, following the country’s sweeping anti-corruption crackdown on the sport.
Li Yuyi, 69, has been sentenced to 11 years of prison for bribery, according to a Monday statement from Jinzhou Intermediate People’s Court in Central China’s Hubei province. Li previously pleaded guilty to accepting more than 12 million yuan ($1.7 million) in bribes when he stood trial in March.
