204 held in crackdown on assets fraud
CHINESE police have held 204 suspects in a crackdown on fraud under the guise of “unfreezing national assets,” the Ministry of Public Security said yesterday.
It said 14 groups had been busted since October last year, with the cases involving at least 730 million yuan (US$106 million). The fraudsters claimed they had been entrusted by the government to unfreeze “national assets overseas” and conned victims into paying “startup capital” or “membership fees.”
The suspects also forged official documents and misinterpreted government policies to mislead victims.
In some cases, brainwashing was also used, according to the ministry’s statement.
The ministry said it had set up a special team for the crackdown and directed operations in 14 major regions.
It said such fraud schemes violated people’s property rights and harmed the government’s credibility.
