MEDICAL professionals are among the 16 people stood trial in Beijing recently for engaging in the country's biggest human organ trafficking case.
Haidian District prosecutors accused the gang of earning tens of millions of yuan by selling and transplanting 51 kidneys between March and December of 2010.
Their leader, Zheng Wei, offered 25,000 yuan (US$3,972.5) for a kidney and the same amount for its removal surgery, but he would charge a buyer more than 200,000 yuan, the Procuratorate Daily reported today.
Zheng's partner, Zhou Peng, a doctor in a county hospital in eastern Anhui Province, rented an operation room and lured surgeons and anesthetists from Tongshan County in neighboring Jiangsu Province to participate in the lucrative business, the report said.
They moved their underground hospital to Beijing in September 2010 as it was more convenient to supply freshly-removed kidneys to buyers, most of them in Beijing. Zheng rented a four-floor villa in Haidian District and purchased medical equipment worth 500,000 yuan.
Zheng's girlfriend, Wang Yingying, was responsible for picking up surgeons and anesthetists from Tongshan County from the train station or the airport to do the operations. During their one-day stay in Beijing, they could remove an average of six kidneys from sellers, the report said.
The gang was arrested in a spa center in the capital's Fengtai District in December 2010, the report said.
