Allegations of corruption worth millions of dollars led to the arrests of nine employees, including executives, at NetEase.
A suspected case of corruption worth millions apparently took place at NetEase. According to a report, nine employees were arrested, including two managers. They are accused of money laundering and bribery worth an estimated $139.3 million.
The corruption took place in the areas of esports and sales and marketing. External people are also being investigated. NetEase has therefore already blacklisted 27 companies. They should be connected to the case and the people.
The nine employees have already been laid off. A NetEase spokesman confirmed the investigation but did not want to go into detail.
According to Eurogamer, this will be the second investigation into corruption in the company since September 2023.
