(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); World Cup referee Lu Jun could face punishment ranging from administrative sanction to the death penalty if found guilty in the ongoing probe into match-fixing in the domestic game.


Lu, who officiated in two matches at the 2002 World Cup finals in South Korea and Japan, was one of three referees arrested in the last week.

If he is found guilty of having accepted bribes as a public servant, the severity of his punishment will depend on the amount of money involved.

Holy... Man, death for accepting bribes, the asians are hardcore.

lolwow, a bit much dont you think?

Wow that's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. If cheating is illegal to the extent of death then every time I play monopoly I should be sentenced to death XD

Death penalty for taking a bribe? dam

wow. why would someone die over just that. wow.

Thats crazy. People overreact to anything in relation to soccer.

Just a little bit too much I think

Death penalty is insane...he should just have to pay an x amount of money or serve a few years in the slammer. Death over a game is ludicrous.

wow, thats pathetic.
