To what extent is Son Joon-ho's claim, which was appealed with tears, true? In China, a court ruling that seemed to admit Son Jun-ho's alleged match fixing was made public.

Since it has not been officially announced yet, it is not known whether it is true or not. If the leaked ruling is true, it will be hard to dispel suspicions that he participated in the match-fixing.

On the 22nd (Korea time), the contents of the Chinese court's ruling were disclosed through the Chinese content sharing platform "Bai Jiahao" owned by Chinese search portal Baidu. The media said, "I made a bet of 200,000 yuan (about 40.38 million won) after inquiring about the dividend rate and betting information to Jin Jing-dao prior to the match against Shanghai Hai-Gang."

According to the ruling, which the media claimed was a leaked copy, Son Joon-ho said in a witness statement at the time, "Jinjingtao approached two hours before the start of the match against Shanghai Haigang on January 1, 2022. He said, 'Let's run slowly, control the tempo, and don't score a goal. We shouldn't win this game.' We already had similar experiences before, so we agreed without much thought."

I said, "I played full time in this game. I played with a much more relaxed mind than usual. I didn't do my best. Jin Jingdao and Guo Tianyu also didn't aggressively attack. The match was tied 2-2. I didn't win as I targeted, and two days later, Jin Jingdao sent 200,000 yuan to my account."

Jin Qingdao also said in a witness statement, "On the day of the game, Son asked me about the dividend rate. I said, 'It's okay if we don't win,' and said, 'I'm going to bet 200,000 yuan.' Then Son said, 'Let me bet 200,000 yuan, too.' I played slowly in the match. Son and Guo Tianyu also did not actively participate, as they had already made bets. I sent 200,000 yuan to Guo Tianyu and Son."

In May 2023, Son Joon-ho, a member of Shandong Taishan in China, was arrested by public security while trying to return home through Shanghai Hongqiao Airport in 2023. Later, he was detained in criminal custody and investigated by the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau in Liaoning Province. His charge was that of non-state workers. Since colleagues who had been on the ground together were involved in match manipulation, they were suspected of directly participating in match manipulation or receiving money and goods during the process of transferring Shandong.

Son strongly denied the allegation and returned to Korea about 10 months later in March last year. Due to continuous controversy, Son held a press conference in Korea in September of the same year and admitted that he had received 200,000 yuan from Jin Jing-dao.

According to Newsis, Son said, "I was embarrassed when I was arrested by Chinese police. I was shocked and arrested in front of my family. I couldn't express it in words," adding, "What was more embarrassing was after my arrest. The police told me that they would arrest me for bribery. I was puzzled. I was dumbfounded."

"A few hours after his arrest, an interpreter came to make me feel awkward in Korean. I was embarrassed once again when I asked what was going on and heard that he should be investigated for committing a crime. He said he was innocent and said he would hire a lawyer, but the police interpreter said it was not a big deal and that he didn't need a lawyer," he said.

Showing tears during the press conference, Son said, "I was locked up without knowing what I was going to do. I dragged him away saying I had to go somewhere. When I arrived at the detention center, an investigation began, and the Chinese police threatened me by saying, "I will arrest your wife and investigate her if you refuse to admit it." Showing my daughter and son, he said, "What are the children guilty? How are their children doing if their mother comes here? Hurry up and admit it."

Even 스포츠토토 "I was even more scared because I had no idea whether my family had returned home or remained in China after being arrested at the airport. Rather than me, he admitted to the charges that he had no choice but to know about his family's concerns. After about three weeks, my family was able to have the first interview with a lawyer hired in Korea. I was told that I could not do anything because I admitted the charges. I made a very complacent judgment when I heard that I could return to my family's arms quickly," he sobbed.

I reiterate, it is not yet clear whether the ruling is authentic. However, it is true that the circumstances and testimonies at the time were too specific.
