WUHAN, Nov. 29 -- Chinese police escorted 74 telecom-fraud suspects back to China from Malaysia Tuesday.
The suspects, including 53 from the Chinese mainland and 21 from Taiwan, are allegedly involved in over 500 cross-border telecom and cyber fraud cases involving over 60 million yuan (8.7 million U.S. dollars).
Chinese police have found several fraud gangs swindling people on the Chinese mainland from hideouts in Malaysia, and have cooperated with Malaysian police as part of a crackdown.
A chartered plane with suspects onboard landed in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Tuesday evening.
