Police bust online gambling network
Print Edition
Chinese police have apprehended 1,071 people involved in an online gambling network, the public security department of south China鈥檚 Guangdong Province said yesterday.
Police have frozen bank accounts holding about 330 million yuan (US$52.8 million), said Lu Feng, an official with the department.
The suspects were rounded up from June to December last year and include 15 suspected of developing and operating gambling platforms and more than 1,000 clients suspected of renting the platforms to run their own gambling operations.
A total of 570 of those captured are in detention, Lu said.
The group, led by two men from Guangdong鈥檚 Shantou City, built around 200 gambling websites, mostly on Thai servers. Each website was rented out for 70,000 to 100,000 yuan per month.
The membership-based gambling websites attracted hundreds of thousands who betted on results of the country鈥檚 lottery, according to Yu Canxian, head of the department鈥檚 cyber police contingent.
The police were helped by counterparts in Thailand and Taiwan, Lu Feng said. 鈥淲e caught seven people responsible for the websites鈥 maintenance in Thailand.鈥
