The court found the defendants guilty of intentional murder, serious bodily harm, illegal deprivation of liberty, fraud, and organizing illegal gambling. The actions of this criminal group led to the deaths of 14 Chinese citizens.
Despite appealing the sentence, in November 2025, the Supreme People's Court of Zhejiang Province upheld it and referred the case for reconsideration to the Supreme People's Court of China, which also confirmed the legality of the decision.
According to the Supreme People's Court, since 2015, members of this group have organized several bases for telecommunications fraud and illegal gambling in Myanmar, with the total amount of funds involved in their schemes exceeding 10 billion yuan (approximately 1.4 billion US dollars). The criminals also resorted to murder, beatings, and illegal detention of individuals.
The sentences were carried out by the Wenzhou court after receiving the necessary approval from the Supreme People's Court.
Earlier this month, five members of the "Bai" syndicate were also sentenced to death. Legal proceedings against other groups, such as "Wei" and "Liu," are ongoing.
Scam centers are actively operating in northern Myanmar, luring people under the pretext of employment, then forcibly detaining them, confiscating their documents, and coercing them into participating in fraudulent schemes. Victims are subjected to violence and torture for disobedience.
