Joint Listing Supervision

In order to crack down on illegal activities such as overseas telecommunications and network fraud in accordance with the law, crack down on domestic collaborative criminals in accordance with the law, and resolutely safeguard the vital interests of the people, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security recently jointly supervised the third batch of five major cross-border telecommunications and network fraud cases. They insisted on internal and external linkage, made every effort to crack down on gangs, disrupt networks, and cut off chains, deeply dug into organizers, leaders, and behind the scenes "gold owners", and effectively maintained social stability and the vital interests of the people.

In order to further curb the high incidence of cross-border telecommunications network fraud and cut off the domestic criminal chain colluding with overseas fraud groups to the greatest extent possible, according to the normalized listing and supervision mechanism, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security will continue to jointly list and supervise the third batch of five major cross-border telecommunications network fraud cases in the near future. These five cases are respectively the "9.06" telecommunications network fraud case in Putian, Fujian, the "5.11" telecommunications network fraud case in Shapingba, Chongqing, the "6.16" telecommunications network fraud case in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, the "8.26" telecommunications network fraud case in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and the "1.12" telecommunications network fraud case in Leshan, Sichuan. These cases are all key cases of overseas telecommunications network fraud groups, mostly involving domestic personnel participating in fraudulent activities overseas by illegally crossing borders. The internal organizational structure is tight, with coordination between domestic and foreign parties, and a large number of participants. The involved amount is huge, and some groups are also involved in serious violent crimes such as illegal detention and intentional injury, with extremely negative social impact.

The procuratorial and public security organs once again warn telecommunications and network fraud criminals, especially those who are still overseas, not to take any chances. They must recognize the situation, stop immediately, return to their home country as soon as possible, surrender themselves, and strive for lenient treatment.
