Hong Kong’s anti-corruption agency and police have arrested 19 people, including serving footballers and coaches, in connection with illegal bookmaking, with one player accused of both fixing matches and handling illicit bets. Principal investigator Bill Ng Siu-kei of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) said on Friday that the agency and police had broken up a local syndicate run by individuals within football. The investigation involved personnel from at least five clubs.
