Earlier this month, Thai authorities handed over fugitive She Zhijiang to the Chinese mainland, marking a major win in the fight against cross-border fraud. 🤝
China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) says the extradition process was complex. After his arrest in Thailand, She tried to use local procedures to dodge accountability, but the Court of Appeal upheld the lower court’s decision, thanks to a solid China and Thailand law enforcement cooperation mechanism.
Inside the Scam Network
- Since 2013, She set up Asia-Pacific International Holdings Group overseas.
- By September 2017, he built a "fraud factory" in Myawaddy, Kayin State, Myanmar.
- The network ran over 200 online gambling platforms and 29 scam parks, raking in more than ¥2.7 billion (about $370 million) and ensnaring 330,000+ people. 💰
- 248 telecom fraud rings targeted Chinese citizens via calls and messages, causing huge losses.
What’s Next?
A spokesperson for the MPS said this case underscores the firm resolve to punish cross-border gambling and telecom fraud, safeguard people’s rights, and strengthen global security. Chinese mainland police will keep driving the Global Security Initiative, boosting info sharing and joint ops with partners worldwide. 🌐🔒
This extradition shows how teamwork across borders can crack down on scams and protect us all. Stay aware, stay safe online! 📱
