254 Chinese telecom fraud suspects extradited from Indonesia, Cambodia

A total of 254 suspects involved in transnational telecom swindles were sent back to China from Indonesia and Cambodia on Tuesday morning.
The suspects are involved in over 4,000 cases of telecom fraud in over 20 provincial areas in both Chinese mainland and Hong Kong.
Up to 282 police officers were sent to Indonesia and Cambodia on four charter flights, respectively from Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Guangzhou, on Monday night, to escort the suspects.

This marks the first victory of China’s nationwide crackdown on telecom crimes, according to The People’s Daily. Hiding behind the modern technologies, swindlers often sent false messages or made false calls to the victims, asking them to transfer money to a certain account number.

As telecom fraud is becoming increasingly rampant in recent years, China has adopted tough measures against the crimes. This June, a joint system was established, concentrating the efforts of 23 departments on the crackdown of the crime. In 2014 alone, China cracked more than 6 million telecom fraud cases, busting over 3,100 criminal gangs and arresting over 20,000 suspects.

The 254 suspects extradited this time are among the 392 people caught during the two major arrest operations in Indonesia and Cambodia in October. According to China’s Ministry of Public Security, the suspects were generally young, unemployed people, who were recruited by criminal gangs to Southeast Asian countries under the guise of high salaries and an overseas work experience.

168 Suspected Scammers Sent Back to China

A group of 168 Chinese nationals were deported early Tuesday morning following their arrest in Sihanoukville last month for allegedly defrauding citizens of their home country using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, an official said.

Lieutenant General Khun Sambo, deputy director of the Interior Ministry’s immigration department, said the suspected scammers were sent back to China on two flights from Phnom Penh International Airport at 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.



Members of a group of about 250 Chinese nationals suspected of involvement in an Internet fraud ring walk off a plane in Shanghai on Tuesday after being deported from Indonesia and Cambodia. More than 160 of the suspects were sent back from Phnom Penh early Tuesday morning.
“We deported the 168 on two flights…and they were joined by more than 100 Chinese police,” Lt. Gen. Sambo said.

“The Chinese who were deported included some of the masterminds, but some masterminds are still at large, and we will arrest them and send them out of Cambodia.”

The 168 were apprehended during synchronized raids on two separate locations in Sihanoukville’s Bei commune on October 31, according to police.

The operation followed a two-month investigation and was carried out at the request of Chinese authorities, who claimed the scheme affected nearly 300 families.

So are they likely to soon be doing hard time in China? Are the prisons as bad as they say they are here? It's the ringleaders who often act with impunity, as they can afford to pay off and avoid the arrest who should be thrown in the deep end! But this is Asia.
