Professional Baseball League(CPBL)
players to fix games chronically, and swindled gamblers who misjudge outcomes of
baseball games to pay their stakes and consequently lose.
Prosecutors in anti-corruption group in this office directed Investigation
Bureau Taipei branch to collect facts and evidence and discovered that from May
to September, 2009 during the 20th season of CPBL, the clan frequently conspired
players to intentionally lose games or control box scores by deliberate error,
strikeout, walk, flyout, groundout, etc, so gambling ringleaders could deceive
gamblers to gain enormous profits and afterwards distributed grafts to those
players. After delicate investigation, prosecutors believed their involvement in
deception and gambling was definite and evidence against them was substantial,
so applied Banciao District Court for search warrant, directed investigators
stationed in Taipei, Taichung, and Kauhsiung to search implicated persons’
domiciles and residences on October 26th, 2009 and summoned more than ten
suspects. Prosecutors will thoroughly collect related evidence of this case and
broaden the scope of investigation.
