Deliberate scam for participation in games

If you are lying you will most likely to get caught. And if you are caught next punishment is exclusion from further participation.
We all know that in 2019 United Arab Emirates (UAE) will host the seventeenth edition of the AFC Asian Cup. However, for the next event one nation will be completely excluded from the qualifying process.
Exactly one week ago the Asian disciplinary committee has decided to expel Timor-Leste from the 2023 event. The main reason is that officials from Federacao de Futebol de Timor-Leste (FFTL) let players play in the team with falsified documents. The investigation was opened 09 June 2016 for the first play-off round games for the 2019 Asian Cup in UAE. It showed that on 02 and 06 June 12 Brazilian born players participated in the team with falsified documents i.e. possessing false birth papers. Nine of them played 29 games within AFC competitions: friendly matches, AFF Championship 2012 and 2014, South east Asian games 2013 and 2015, Asian games 2014. Under FIFA jurisdiction were all 7 matches from the joint preliminary round 1 and 2 for World Cup in Russia and Asian Cup in UAE played in 2015. Also all of the players were named.
Because of that the team is thrown out for the next Asian Cup - in six years time and FFTL has to pay 18.798 euros. Those 29 matches will be forfeited from FFTL and additionally will be fined with 52.635 euros, and the punishment will be suspended for a probationary period of 2 years. The officials were penalized: general secretary Amandio (Amandio de Araujo Sarmento) is removed from the sport for 3 years and ordered to pay 8.459 euros for his crime. Another official and his colleague Gelasio (Gelasio de Silva Carvalho) went to far when he attempted to interfere with a witness and has to deliver 2.820 euros.
