Three football players, one accused of offering bribes totaling $6,400 to two players to rig games in the city's top league, have appeared in court on charges of illicit gambling. The players are connected to the largest match-fixing scheme in Hong Kong's recent history.
In their first appearance before a magistrate at Eastern Court on Thursday, the trio—along with a betting agent involved in the same case—secured bail as prosecutors requested a four-month extension for additional investigation.
