According to Australian media on the 22nd (Korea time), a Melbourne court in Australia sentenced Riko Danacki, 25, to a fine of 5,000 Australian dollars (about 4.47 million won) at the trial of the ruling on sports gambling betting fraud.
Danacki was accused of participating in an A-League game from April to May when he was a member of Western United in the A-League.
He is known to have made unfair gains by betting directly on items that receive yellow cards during games on sports gambling sites and then receiving yellow cards for intentional fouls in actual games.
Danacki was found to have conspired with Hirayama (27) of the same Japanese team who played in the second division to commit the crime. The gain from the three matches in this way was about 16,000 Australian dollars, of which 70 percent was decided to be taken by Danzaki.

The court said in its ruling that `violated the spirit of sports and that everyone was committed to the same goal, and that it was an act of betrayal of trust and harm to the legitimate betting market order.' The fine of 5,000 Australian dollars is significant considering the fact that the two defendants pleaded guilty at the beginning of the investigation.'
Danacki was effectively released by the Australian Football Association after his contract with Western Club expired as of June 1 due to the incident, and the Australian Football Association suspended him temporarily.
Danzaki, who made his professional debut with Consadole Sapporo in Hokkaido after serving as a Japanese youth representative, advanced to Europe and joined Western United in 2023.
