254 Suspects Involved in Telecom Fraud Escorted back to China

A total of 254 suspects from the Chinese mainland who were involved in telecom fraud cases were escorted back to China by Chinese police on Tuesday from Indonesia and Cambodia. The suspects are involved in more than 4,000 major transnational telecom frauds related to over 20 provincial areas and Hong Kong, according to the Ministry of Public Security. They were brought back to the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, east China's Hangzhou and south China's Guangzhou by flight respectively in the morning, with their criminal tools also returned to Chinese police for further investigation and trial. It marks the first overseas operation by Chinese police since the Ministry of Public Security, in collaboration with various other departments, launched a campaign late last month targeting new types of telecom crimes. "This move is the first battle of our campaign against telecom frauds. It should be said that we have gained our first victory. It's very successful as four planes have brought back 254 suspects from Indonesia and Cambodia. It's also a major victory that we've gained in the recent years on fighting telecom frauds," said Yang Dong, director of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation under the Ministry of Public Security. China has in the recent years seen a rise in telecom frauds, which have caused great losses to residents and damaged social security. Many fraud suspects have established their bases overseas to conducts crimes. More on: http://news.cctvplus.tv/NewJsp/news.j...
