Supreme procuratorate, police to supervise 21 major telecom fraud cases

Xinhua, September 30, 2016 Adjust font size:

The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) and the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) on Friday said they will supervise the handling of 21 major telecom fraud cases.

In a notice jointly released by SPP and MPS, they said the 21 cases involved a large number of suspects, huge amounts of money and a very bad social influence.

The cases include fraud targeting students, like the one which allegedly triggered the death of Xu Yuyu, a high school graduate in Shandong Province who died of cardiac arrest after losing her tuition money to a telecom fraudster.

They also include gangs operating overseas now extradited back to China, the notice said.

Cases are at different stages and procuratorates and police must ensure quality and efficiency in handling them.

The SPP and MPS will supervise more telecom fraud cases if needed, the notice said. Endi
