Hansie Cronje

After Cronje's death, South African and British media reported that investigators had discovered more than 70 offshore accounts, particularly in the Cayman Islands, described as undeclared to South African tax authorities. Earlier audits had already identified numerous accounts and payments whose origins were not immediately explained.

After revelations by Delhi police in 2000, Cronje admitted before the King Commission that he had received substantial sums of money and gifts from bookmakers between 1996 and 2000, provided information and attempted to influence match situations. The South African cricket board banned him for life.

Cronje offered money to Gibbs and Henry Williams to underperform in a match, using his position as captain to try to extend the corruption scheme to teammates.

Cronje admitted being influenced by a bookmaker to arrange an unusual declaration at Centurion, turning a rain-affected match into a contest offering an outcome that could be exploited for betting.

Before a charity ODI against India in Mumbai in 1996, Cronje gathered the South African team to put forward an offer of 250,000 dollars to deliberately lose the match. The players rejected the proposal. This earlier episode, revealed during the historical investigation into his conduct, preceded the 2000 corruption acts by several years.
