FIFTEEN Chinese "snakeheads," or human traffickers, were jailed for up to 11 years in east China's Shandong Province on charges of smuggling 111 people into other countries and regions, a court spokesman said yesterday.
Five defendants were given terms of seven years to 11 years on Tuesday at the Huancui District People's Court in Weihai City, the spokesman said. Each was also fined from 100,000 yuan (US$14,700) to 120,000 yuan, he said.
The other 10 received sentences of less than seven years and varying fines.
The court heard that the 15 snakeheads smuggled people to Israel, South Korea, Macao and other destinations between 2006 and early 2008. The stowaways, from eight provinces such as Shandong, Hebei and Fujian, went abroad to work illegally.
The "snakeheads" used different smuggling methods, such as fake exit papers or hiding stowaways in container. Most of the stowaways have been repatriated.
