On 23 August, Myanmar police apprehended and handed over two suspects involved in telecom fraud cases to Chinese authorities at Yangon International Airport.
One of the detainees not only holds a central role within the gambling and fraud syndicate but also serves as a pivotal figure in the realm of telecom fraud.
Through a collaborative effort, a specialized operation was carried out jointly by law enforcement agencies from China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos. This operation aimed to suppress telecom fraud activities and curb online gambling-related crimes, ultimately striving to transform the prevailing environment marred by offences such as human trafficking, kidnapping, and manipulation.
In June, six individuals implicated in telecom fraud cases were similarly repatriated from Myanmar’s police force to the Chinese police force. — TWA/MKKS
