Banned for 20 years for fixing by Cricket South Africa,Gulam Bodi Faces Criminal Charges in South Africa

Gulam Bodi, notwithstanding a 20-year ban imposed on him by Cricket South Africa, still faces criminal charges under the country's anti-corruption laws, which were introduced after the 2000 match-fixing saga involving the late Hansie Cronje

Gulam Bodi has played two ODIs and one Test for South Africa
 

Gulam Bodi was charged with several counts of contriving or attempting to fix matches on December 31,2015 following an investigation conducted by CSA's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit.

Under the provisions of the Anti-Corruption Code for Personnel, Bodi had until January 18 to respond to the charges.

The former Proteas player admitted guilt which led to CSA banning him for a period of 20 years from participating in, or being involved in any capacity in, any international or domestic match or any other kind of function, event or activity (other than authorised anti-corruption education or rehabilitation programmes) that is authorised, organised, sanctioned, recognised or supported in any way by CSA, the ICC, a National Cricket Federation or any member of a National Cricket Federation.

Five of those years are suspended on condition that Bodi commits no further offences under the Code and demonstrates to CSA's reasonable satisfaction that he has actively and constructively participated in corruption-related player education programmes when asked to do so
