China's former soccer chief has received a one-year reduction in his prison sentence for good behavior and positive attitude for repenting on his faults, a Beijing court said on Tuesday.
Nan Yong, the former director of the General Administration of Sport's soccer administrative center and former vice-chairman of Chinese Football Association, had been sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison in June 2012 for accepting bribes worth more than 1.19 million yuan for fixing matches and illegally using his power to benefit others. Nan was also fined 200,000 yuan.
