China Executes Myanmar Scam Mafia Members for Human Trafficking
A Chinese court has sentenced five top members of the Bai family, a notorious Myanmar mafia, to death for their involvement in large-scale scam operations. The 21 convicted individuals were found guilty of fraud, homicide, and other crimes related to the trafficking and abuse of workers, many of whom were Chinese, within their criminal compounds. These activities, centered in Laukkaing and involving over 29 billion Chinese yuan, also resulted in multiple deaths and injuries. This harsh sentencing is part of China’s broader crackdown on scam networks in Southeast Asia, aimed at sending a clear message to other criminal syndicates.
