China’s Ministry of Public Security is probing five trans-border scam cases as more reports emerge of foreigners being lured into working for criminal syndicates in Cambodia.
Chinese authorities have placed the investigations under the joint oversight of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) and the Ministry of Public Security, indicating it will punish such crimes severely.
According to a China Daily report, the SPP said the cases were registered in Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan and Hunan provinces, as well as Chongqing municipality, and each involved a large number of victims and caused severe harm to the public.
