Li Tie, the former national football team coach, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for bribery in the latest crackdown on corruption in Chinese sports.
The court revealed that Li Tie handled bribes totaling 120 million yuan (approximately $16.5 million) between 2015 and 2021, highlighting extensive corruption during his tenure.
Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign has claimed other significant figures in football, including the former Chinese Football Association chief, who received a life sentence for bribery.
CCTV aired confessions of criminal suspects like Li Tie prior to court appearances, a practice criticized by rights groups for lacking due process.
