Illegal blood dealers arraigned in Beijing court

BEIJING'S biggest case of illegal blood sales, involving 12 suspects, was tried yesterday in the Haidian District People's Court.

The gang was accused of recruiting people to sell blood to patients but pretend to be their relatives. Patients were charged 400 to 500 yuan (US$63-79) for a 100ml bag of blood, the procurators said.

The sellers could get 100 yuan from each 100ml bag of blood they sold and the rest was split by the gang members, today's Beijing News reported.

The gang began their illegal business last year in a hospital in Wukesong area and was arrested in January. All the 12 suspects pleaded guilty to the charges. A verdict will be handed down later.
