China Sentences Scam Gang Members to Death
China sentenced five people to death for their involvement in a violent criminal gang with fraud operations in Myanmar's Kokang region.
The gang was operating in northern Myanmar's Kokang region, along the border, and was staffed by foreigners, many of them Chinese, who were often trafficked and forced to swindle people online.
The crimes of the five people sentenced had led to the "deaths of six Chinese nationals, one Chinese national's suicide and injuries to several others."
Beijing has stepped up cooperation with Southeast Asian nations to crack down on scam compounds, and thousands of people have been repatriated to China.
The sentencing is part of China's efforts to combat the multibillion-dollar illicit industry that has flourished in Myanmar's lawless borderlands.
