According to a message posted on the WeChat public account of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines on July 16, recently, law enforcement agencies from China and the Philippines worked closely together to successfully dismantle a fraud operation that had been operating in the Philippines.
This gang involved nearly ten million yuan in crimes. All six suspects have been arrested. They are all wanted fugitives by the Chinese authorities and are suspected of engaging in telecommunications fraud, money laundering, and concealing criminal proceeds among other crimes.
During the operation, law enforcement officers seized a large number of tools used for criminal activities at the hideout, including computers, mobile phones, and fake seals. In addition, they also recovered prohibited items such as pistols and drugs.
Through the full coordination of the embassy in Philippines, on July 14, officials from the Philippine Immigration Department escorted six suspects back to China. The Chinese embassy in Philippines will continue to deepen law enforcement cooperation, resolutely combat cross-border criminal activities, and effectively protect the lives and property of our compatriots.
On July 15th, the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines also issued a notice stating that recently, Chinese and Filipino law enforcement agencies cooperated to capture and deport a fugitive named Lin, who was suspected of organizing cross-border gambling and telecommunications fraud crimes.
Lin's cross-border gambling and fraud criminal group has set up online gambling and telecommunications fraud dens in the Philippines, Cambodia, and other places. Using gambling websites and porn-inducing apps, they carry out illegal activities related to cross-border gambling and telecommunications fraud, with the amount involved reaching several billion yuan.
China will continue to strengthen cooperation in law enforcement with the Philippines, severely crack down on various forms of transnational crimes, and effectively safeguard the property safety of the people. This will provide guarantees for the normal travel between the two countries.
