Since July this year, under the command of the Ministry of Public Security, the Jilin Public Security Bureau has dismantled a transnational national assets unfreezing fraud gang and captured 101 suspects in the country. At the same time, international law enforcement cooperation was carried out with the police of Laos, Singapore, and Cambodia, and the police of the three countries arrested a total of 156 suspects. Recently, relevant criminal suspects have been escorted back to China one after another.

In January this year, the Jilin Public Security Bureau discovered a criminal gang that committed transnational asset unfreezing fraud. The gang fabricated false "national projects" such as "Rejuvenation Huijin", "Action for Elderly Care", "China's Strengthening Agriculture", "People's Livelihood Security" and "China Dream Realization", hired technical teams to develop fraudulent APPs, and "drained traffic" to develop members through online platforms. It has been committing fraud against the elderly for a long time. Many people have been defrauded, and the amount involved exceeds 6 billion yuan.

Under the overall command of the Ministry of Public Security, the Jilin Public Security Bureau preliminary identified the location and personnel of the gang through careful investigation. On July 28, through law enforcement cooperation, the Lao police arrested 110 suspects in Vientiane. At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security deployed centralized networks in many places, destroyed 9 fraud dens, and arrested 101 criminal suspects. On August 14, the Singapore police arrested Hou and Nie, the "financiers" behind the gang. On September 2, Cambodian police arrested 44 suspects in the gang. So far, 257 suspects have been arrested in this case, and a full-chain attack has been carried out on the "financiers", backbones, technical operation and maintenance, and agents behind the gang.

It is understood that since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Public Security has continued to deploy local public security agencies to carry out special work to crack down on national asset unfreezing fraud crimes, uncovering 180 cases, destroying 75 fraud gangs, and arresting a number of criminal suspects.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security stated that the public security organs will always maintain a high-pressure and severe crackdown on national asset unfreezing fraud crimes, crack down hard, take multiple measures, continue to carry out law enforcement cooperation, continuously increase the intensity of crackdowns, and effectively safeguard the property safety and legitimate rights and interests of the people.
