Japan's Sponichi announced on the 4th 'Australia's first division Western United's withdrawal of midfielder Tandaki Ryuku (25) on the club's official website. Danzaki was arrested and charged with gambling in June, according to local media, which shocked the public. However, Western United did not elaborate on the reason for Danaka's release.
It was last month that news of Danzaki's alleged gambling came out. At the time, Japan Soccer King quoted Australian media outlet 9News saying that two players from Western United were charged as part of an investigation into alleged gambling irregularities in Australian A-League games. The player in question is Japanese midfielder Danzaki, and he is facing a total of 10 charges in connection with gambling irregularities in four games held in April and May this year. "He is accused of deliberately trying to influence the outcome of online bets by receiving yellow cards or red cards' and said Danzaki committed match fixing to get money from online bets.
Two Western United players, including Danacki, were immediately arrested on gambling charges. They have since been released on bail and are due to appear in Melbourne District Court on July 31. Western United immediately issued a statement saying it was "over the weekend, we learned that the A-League player had been charged with gambling, and we are deeply shocked and disappointed. We take this matter very seriously and strongly condemn any conduct that harms the fairness of the club and the game. We are currently fully cooperating with the relevant authorities..." the release said. The club did not mention real names.
However, the club suddenly released Danzaki a month later. Although he did not mention his real name, it was confirmed that Danzaki was a player who participated in the gambling charge.
Danacki is a second-tier Japanese resource born in 2000. He also played in the Japanese J-League. Playing for Consadole Sapporo, Hokkaido, he challenged the Australian League as a Brisbane Roar on loan in the 2020-2021 season. He returned to Japan, but transferred to Brisbane completely. I joined Western in the summer of 2023. I was using my prime after moving to Western and I did something incredible and shocking. If the allegations of gambling are found to be true, they will not return to football.
