A total of 254 suspects from the Chinese mainland involved in telecom swindle cases were sent to Beijing on Tuesday morning from Indonesia and Cambodia under the escort of Chinese police, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
The suspects are involved in more than 4,000 major transnational telecom frauds related to over 20 provincial areas and Hong Kong, the ministry said in a press release.
These suspects were brought back in the first overseas operation since a campaign targeting new types of telecom crime was launched in China late last month.
