A 鈥榮word from the cloud鈥 hits fraud dens overseas
Print Edition
Chinese police have cracked 118,000 cases of telecom fraud and captured 99,000 suspects during their 鈥淐loud Sword鈥 operation launched in June, the Ministry of Public Security said yesterday.
The figures marked a year-on-year increase of 62.7 percent and 135.6 percent, said Liu Zhongyi, director of the criminal investigation bureau under the ministry.
In the operation, the ministry sent police from 13 provincial regions to Cambodia, the Philippines and Laos, and the four sides cooperated to destroy a large number of fraud dens and brought a total of 2,553 telecom fraud suspects back to China.
鈥淭he pursuit of the fugitives achieved the best result in eight years,鈥 Liu said.
The number of fugitives captured during the campaign reached 243,000, 96 of whom were on the ministry鈥檚 class-A wanted list, figures from the ministry show.
Police also busted 4,205 groups for offering fraudulent loans and 576 groups for scams under the pretext of 鈥渦nfreezing national assets.鈥
Liu said 鈥淐loud Sword鈥 has contributed to the continued stability of the overall social security situation.
From January to November this year, the number of criminal cases filed nationwide dropped by 3.9 percent and the number of serious violent crimes dropped by 10.4 percent.
鈥淢ultiple departments have made joint effort to crack down on telecom and cyberspace fraud because more criminals have applied modern communications tools and online banking technology to commit fraud in recent years, causing serious economic losses to the victims,鈥 Lin added.
The ministry vowed to make all-out efforts to arrest fugitives and curb the rising trend of new cybercrimes.
