China executes 4 more members of Myanmar scam ring
TAIPEI, TAIWAN—China executed four people found guilty of causing the deaths of six Chinese citizens and running scam and gambling operations out of Myanmar worth more than $4 billion, authorities said on Monday.
The Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court in South China announced the executions in a statement on Monday morning, though it was not clear when they had been carried out.
The executions of 11 other people accused of running scam centers in Myanmar were announced last week.
The Shenzhen court had sentenced five people, including members of the notorious Bai family, accused of running a network of scam centers and casinos, to death in November.
The group had established industrial parks in Myanmar’s Kokang region bordering China, from where they were accused of running gambling and telecom scam operations involving kidnappings, extortion, forced prostitution and drug manufacturing and trafficking.
