3月26日上午，湖北省黄石市中级人民法院对中国足球协会原主席陈戌源受贿案一审公开宣判，对被告人陈戌源以受贿罪判处无期徒刑，剥夺政治权利终身，并处没收个人全部财产；对其受贿违法所得依法予以追缴，上缴国库。

Chen Xuyuan, former head of the Chinese Football Association, was sentenced to life for bribery, the Intermediate People's Court in Huangshi, Hubei province, announced on Tuesday.

陈戌源被控受贿8103万余元，受贿时间长而且次数多，在长达13年的时间里受贿217次，目前赃款已经全部追缴退回。

The court also stripped Chen of his political rights and ordered that all his personal assets be confiscated. In addition, illicit gains and relevant interests Chen obtained should be turned over to the national treasury, the court said.

经审理查明：在2010年至2023年的13年中，被告人陈戌源先后利用担任上海国际港务（集团）股份有限公司总裁、董事长、中国足球协会换届筹备组组长、中国足球协会主席等职务上的便利以及职权、地位形成的便利条件，为相关单位和个人在项目承揽、投资经营、赛事安排等事项上提供帮助，受贿217次，非法收受他人给予的钱款共计折合人民币8103万余元，其中400万元未实际取得，目前赃款已经全部追缴退回。

From 2010 to 2023, Chen misused his positions, including that of president of the Shanghai International Port Group and president of the association, to seek benefits for relevant departments and individuals in project contracting, investment and event arrangements, according to the court. In return, he accepted bribes worth more than 81.03 million yuan ($11.2 million), of which, 4 million yuan were not successfully obtained at the end, the court added.

黄石市中级人民法院认为，被告人陈戌源的行为构成受贿罪，数额特别巨大。其在中国足协任职期间，为多个足球俱乐部和地方足协在赛事安排、联赛晋级、裁判判罚等事项上谋取不正当利益，严重破坏足球领域公平竞争秩序和行业生态环境，给国家足球事业造成严重损害；为他人谋取职务提拔、调整，具有酌定从重处罚情节。鉴于其受贿400万元系未遂；到案后如实供述自己罪行，主动交代监察机关尚未掌握的部分受贿犯罪事实；揭发他人犯罪行为，经查证属实，具有立功表现；认罪悔罪，积极退赃，受贿赃款已全部追缴，依法可以对其从轻处罚。法庭遂作出上述判决。

"Chen's behavior has constituted the crime of bribery, and the amount of the bribes was extremely large," the court said. "Chen should be harshly punished, as he provided illegal help to others in job promotion and adjustment, and also sought undue benefits for multiple soccer clubs and associations in matters such as match arrangements, league promotions and referee decisions during his tenure at the association, seriously disrupting the fair competition order and industrial environment in the soccer sector, causing severe harm to the national soccer development," the court said. "Considering he pleaded guilty, voluntarily confessed to bribery instances not yet known to the investigators, exposed others' offenses that were later found to be true and returned all illicit gains, we've leniently penalized him," it added.
