Vietnam hands over Chinese, Taiwanese cheaters

The Security and Investigation Agency of the Ministry of Public Security early this month handed over 16 Chinese and Taiwanese swindlers to China and Taiwan for further investigation.

The leader of these swindlers, Tsao Chia Lin, pleaded guilty after they were found to use telecom equipment in Vietnam ’s territory to deceive Chinese people to appropriate their money.

These people, including 11 Taiwanese and five Chinese people, were arrested, together with equipment they used for the trick, at the Yen Hoa Urban Area in Hanoi ’s district of Cau Giay on October 26, 2010.

According to investigators, these swindlers, who belonged to various cross-border criminal rings, had operated in China , Taiwan , Thailand and Indonesia before sneaking into Vietnam to escape from these countries and territories’ police.

Previously, police in Ho Chi Minh City , the Mekong delta city of Can Tho , and the southern province of Binh Duong , brought to light a number of hi-tech crimes involving Chinese and Taiwanese people./.
