POLICE in southwest China's Chongqing have cracked a mafia-like gang led by a former lawmaker, arresting him with 23 gangsters.
Wang Neng, 48, was a Chongqing local logistics tycoon and a former deputy of Chongqing Municipal People's Congress. He was arrested for assault, extortion, possession of guns and organizing a crime ring, China National Radio reported today.
Wang had monopolized delivery services in Chongqing's Jiangjin and Yuzhong Districts by using violence.
When he first started the company in 1996, Wang allegedly forced his competitors out of business by beating them up. He then charged higher delivery fees and collected more than 20 million yuan (US$2.95 million) in profit, the report said.
Wang was alerted when Chongqing's crackdown on underworld crime started last summer. He smuggled more than 100 million yuan out of the city and fled, the report said. Police arrested him last month.
