Millions of Dollars Spent on Illegal Online Football Betting in Vietnam
Seven men have been arrested by police in Da Nang, Vietnam, alleged to use online facilities to bet 'millions of dollars' on international football games. These seven include one of the ringleaders Nguyen Anh Cuong (41) who is likely to be in custody for four months, two others reportedly cooperating with the police investigations, and one man that is still a fugitive. According to a police spokesman the gang had been operating since 2000 and its clientele included affluent senior executives employed by large Vietnamese companies. Police did not identify specific websites of foreign online soccer betting networks which the ringleaders used to further their enterprise.
