A number of NetEase Games employees have reportedly been arrested on charges of bribery and money laundering.
In an internal memo to staff, NetEase Games – which develops Marvel Rivals and Destiny: Rising – announced it has since dismissed a total of nine staff for alleged bribery.
A NetEase spokesperson said police were now investigating alleged corruption charges but would not disclose more details at this time.
As picked up by Chinese site Leifeng.com and reported by Bloomberg Law, NetEase Games’ general manager, Xiang Lang, was detained along with NetEase’s esports lead, Jin Yuchen, and several other staff on anti-corruption charges.
