SHANGHAI — A former employee of the National Basketball Association’s China operation has been detained by police here in a bribery and kickback investigation that has already led to the arrests of two former Coca-Cola bottling plant employees, China’s state-run media reported.
Yang Boning, a spokesman for the N.B.A. in China, confirmed that a former employee had recently been detained in Shanghai, saying, “he did something wrong when he was working with the N.B.A.”
Mr. Yang said the employee is Chinese-born and that police were still investigating. He also said there was no wrongdoing on the part of the N.B.A.
Two former Coca-Cola bottling plant employees were detained in Shanghai for allegedly engaging in bribery, kickbacks and embezzlement, according to Coca-Cola.
On Thursday, Kenth Kaerhoeg, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for Coca- Cola, declined to say whether the N.B.A. case was linked to the Coca-Cola investigation.
China Daily, the country’s largest English language newspaper, reported Thursday that Shanghai police officials had confirmed that the former N.B.A. employee was detained as part of the investigation into the Coca-Cola Shanghai bottling plant case.
China Daily said a spokesman for Shanghai’s Public Security Bureau confirmed the arrest and link. Reached late Thursday, a spokeswoman for the Shanghai police said she did not know much about the case, except that it had been moved to another district.
Both the N.B.A. and Coca-Cola are in the midst of aggressive expansion efforts in China.
