VIETNAMESE ONLINE BETTING RING ORGANISERS GET JAIL TIME (Update)
Up to US $ 50 000 a day flowed through this online network
This week saw the final denouement in a case against a Vietnamese gambling ring which was busted earlier this year (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa report)
ABC Radio Australia reports that a Vietnamese court has jailed 12 members of the illegal online soccer betting ring for up to seven years, and dished out suspended sentences to less involved members.
The state-run Vietnam news agency says the Ho Chi Minh City-based network took online bets worth up to $US 50 000 a day on matches in the Vietnamese domestic league.
Games in Germany, Italy, Spain, Britain and in the European Championships were also the subject of Vietnamese betting activity facilitated by the ring.
