Key suspect in cross-border gambling, fraud syndicate repatriated from Cambodia to China
BEIJING -- China's Ministry of Public Security announced on Wednesday that Li Xiong, a key member of a major cross-border gambling and fraud syndicate, had been repatriated from Cambodia to China.
Li is suspected of involvement in a range of offenses, including operating gambling dens, fraud, unlawful business operations, and concealing and disguising the proceeds of crime. He has been placed under coercive measures, and the case remains under investigation, authorities said.
The ministry added that several influential members of the syndicate had already been apprehended, and that it would step up efforts to pursue and bring remaining fugitives to justice.
Earlier this year, Chen Zhi, ringleader of the cross-border gambling and fraud ring, was repatriated from Cambodia to China.
