South Korean prosecutors said they have charged 12 people including 10 players with involvement in match-fixing that has rattled the K-League.
The players are accused of receiving money from brokers trying to fix results of two games in April, said a spokesman for the prosecutors’ office in the southeastern city of Changwon.
Eight of them are from the Daejeon Citizen team. One team member is accused of receiving $110,600 and distributing it to seven others.
The Daejeon players were asked to throw a match against the Pohang Steelers on April 6, which Daejeon ended up losing 3-0.
