Police in southwest Chongqing have busted a criminal ring that ran a large underground bank and had allegedly laundered 56 billion yuan (US$8.77 billion), China National Radio reported today.
The crime syndicate, led by three persons, consisted of nearly 30 members in Chongqing and Shenzhen, a border city in southern Guangdong Province. They allegedly set up several shell companies with hundreds of employees and corporate accounts to launder money, the report said.
The underground bank earned a commission of 0.1 percent to 0.3 percent for the money it laundered. Since January 2010, it had made tens of millions yuan from the illegal business, Chongqing police said.
