The recently deposed manager of the Brother Elephants, Nakagomi Shin, was arrested by airport police as he tried to leave Taiwan from its main gateway Monday, becoming the latest member of the team to be ensnared in a mushrooming game-fixing scandal. Shin, whose contract with the local professional baseball club was canceled after Elephants players were alleged to have thrown games in exchange for payoffs, had been barred from leaving the country because of the scandal. When he presented his documents at immigration at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, he was arrested and held at the airport's Terminal 2 before being sent to the Banciao Prosecutors Office for questioning. He was still with prosecutors as of 8 p.m. Monday night. 'I wanted to return to Japan to work and was taken aback when I was detained. I simply did not know that I had been barred from leaving the country,' Shin said at the airport after being arrested. He insisted, however, that he was not involved in the gambling scandal in which at least four Elephants players have confessed to manipulate games. Eight others have also been implicated but continue to profess their innocence. Earlier Monday, Elephants catcher Wang Chun-tai was released on NT$80,000 bail after being questioned by a prosecutor in connection with the game-fixing scandal. Wang, who had previously confessed to throwing games in exchange for money, was questioned for the second time in a week Monday, and he promised to hand over his illegal gains to the prosecution, according to Cheng Hsin-hong, a spokesman for the Banciao District Prosecutors Office. Investigators raided the residences of eight players from three teams of Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League Oct. 26 and summoned them to answer questions on Oct. 28. It was the fifth time the league has been tarnished by a game-fixing scandal, and the latest round of allegations is threatening to bring down the 20-year league.
