Fraud suspects flown from Cambodia

A POLICE source said 28 telecom fraud suspects were repatriated from Cambodia to southwest China’s Chongqing yesterday.

The suspects are part of a group of 61 people caught in a China-Cambodia joint police operation earlier this month.

China’s Ministry of Public Security, along with police from Chongqing and Shandong Province, began an investigation in early September.

The suspects allegedly made phone calls to people on the Chinese mainland, cheating victims out of money by pretending to be law enforcement or by falsely promising high returns on investments.

Bank cards, computers, and mobile phones involved in the cases were also seized.

In recent years, Chinese police have been tracking down Chinese nationals hiding overseas who have participated in telecom fraud cases, mainly targeting victims on the mainland.

The police also had 74 suspects caught and repatriated from Cambodia in another operation in early October.
