HONG KONG: A Hong Kong court has sentenced two soccer players and a betting agent to up to 17 months in prison for bribery, match-fixing and illegal gambling in a prominent sports scandal. The two players, Brian Fok and Luciano Silva Da Silva, and the betting agent, Waheed Mohammad, schemed to fix results in the 2022-23 season to win money through illegal gambling, the city’s Independent Commission Against Corruption, which led the investigation, said in a statement Friday.

Ex-Hong Kong Under-23 player Brian Fok, Luciano Silva da Silva and betting agent Waheed Mohammad undermined integrity of the sport, judge says.
