Chen Xuyuan, the former president of the Chinese Football Association (CFA), has been prosecuted for accepting bribes, as announced by the Hubei Provincial People's Procuratorate on Tuesday. The allegations suggest that Chen exploited his influential positions at various organizations to secure benefits for others and accept a significant amount of money in bribes.

Chen held high-ranking roles at the Shanghai International Port (Group) Co., Ltd., the preparatory team for the leadership change of the CFA, and the CFA itself. These positions provided him with opportunities to seek benefits for others while accepting bribes.

The prosecution was initiated upon the designation of the Hubei Provincial People's Procuratorate. It followed thorough investigations into Chen's cases conducted by the provincial supervisory commission of Hubei. The prosecution was brought by a procuratorate in Huangshi, a city in Hubei province.

The Huangshi Municipal People's Procuratorate has now initiated a public prosecution against Chen at the Intermediate People's Court of Huangshi.

Chen was elected as the president of the CFA in 2019, marking his ascension to one of the most influential positions in Chinese football. His prosecution marks a significant development in China's ongoing efforts to address corruption within its sporting institutions.
