VIETNAMESE ONLINE BETTING RING ORGANISERS GET JAIL
TIME (Update)
Up to US $ 50 000 a day flowed through
this online network
This week saw the final denouement in a case against a Vietnamese
gambling ring which was busted earlier this year (see previous InfoPowa
report)
ABC Radio Australia reports that a Vietnamese court has jailed
12 members of the illegal online soccer betting ring for up to seven
years, and dished out suspended sentences to less involved members.
The state-run Vietnam news agency says the Ho Chi Minh City-based
network took online bets worth up to $US 50 000 a day on matches
in the Vietnamese domestic league.
Games in Germany, Italy, Spain, Britain and in the European Championships
were also the subject of Vietnamese betting activity facilitated
by the ring.
