Another player was indicted for allegedly betting on one of his own team's games after learning the outcome would be rigged, and two non-players were indicted for allegedly handing bribes to players through now-detained gambling brokers.

Yonhap cited a prosecution office in the southeastern city of Changwon, but officials there couldn't immediately confirm the report. A former K-League player was found dead in an apparent suicide last week linked to the scandal.AP
