Eight people were detained, and computers, mobile phones, ledgers and cash were seized.

Five of those held had travelled from Hong Kong and Macao on tourist visas to take part in the World Cup betting operation.

The network is said to have handled almost 10 billion New Taiwan dollars, about €274m, in wagers on matches during the tournament.

The organisers had rented a five-storey property for the duration of the competition.
