SHANGHAI police have seized counterfeited money with a face value of 7.5 million yuan (US$1.1 million) in the past eight months.

Police caught 230 suspects in more than 130 fake money cases, Oriental Morning Post reported today.

In a separate case solved in March this year, police seized fake money with a face value of 490,000 yuan from two suspects who rented a home as a workshop to print the notes. In addition to the two suspects, the landlord was also fined for negligence of supervision, the report said.
