The second aim is to determine if the measures taken by the Korean governing institutes to ban match-fixing have the desired effect. I will argue that match-fixing in the K-League was organized in a form in which a key player makes a corruption network with other players on behalf of a corrupt broker. Furthermore I argue that the governing institutes should be focusing on senior players when making their regulations to ban match-fixing, as they are the most prominent in this match-fixing case.Show less
