10 suspects, 3 fugitives repatriated to Taiwan

TEN criminal suspects and three fugitives were repatriated to Taiwan by police yesterday in Xiamen City, Fujian Province.

The suspects have allegedly committed crimes ranging from intentional homicide to abducting, deceiving and organizing mainland women to enter Taiwan for prostitution, said a Ministry of Public Security spokesperson.

The suspects and fugitives were sent via ship to Jinmen in Taiwan, Xiamen police announced on their microblog.

In February, Taiwan's immigration department uncovered a criminal ring that was abducting mainland women to Taiwan and forcing them into prostitution, Legal Daily reported yesterday.

After Taiwan police reported it to their mainland counterparts, the Ministry of Public Security ordered a joint crackdown among police in Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.

In September, Guangxi police busted a Taiwan-based human trafficking ring and arrested 33 suspects, including two fugitives. They freed nine women.

In October, Taiwan police turned to their mainland counterparts as the suspected killer of a popular representative in Taoyuan County in Taiwan fled to Guangdong. The alleged killer was arrested on October 12 in Zhuhai, Guangdong, when he attempted to flee abroad, the newspaper said.

Deepening cross-Strait cooperation has led to uncovering an increasing number of crimes on the island. Therefore, courts on the Chinese mainland, especially in Fujian, Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces, will establish more courtrooms to cope with Taiwan-related lawsuits, Yang Yi, spokesman with the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, said on Wednesday.
