Current K Leaguer, police investigation on charges of illegal gambling 'Shock'
Jul 26, 2024
|
A soccer source told Sports Chosun on the 26th that Player A was recently questioned by the police. He is accused of illegal gambling in 2021, three years ago. I understand that the Southern District Police Agency sent the case to the prosecution."
A, whose position is a midfielder, has been constantly embroiled in rumors of illegal gambling. Rumors continued that club B, to which A belongs, was bombarded with calls to repay gambling debts.
With the player's strong wife, I wondered if the rumor of illegal gambling was just a rumor. He continued to play in games this season, showing signs of revival. However, when A was playing for club C, the police found evidence to prove the illegal gambling charges and launched an investigation, revealing the truth. A is reportedly accused of playing baccarat (gambling using cards).
A is known to have played without informing the club after being investigated by the police, which is expected to cause another controversy.
Team B is aware of the fact and is discussing countermeasures. There is a possibility that severe disciplinary measures such as termination of the contract will be imposed.
