Police in north China's Tianjin Municipality have sent four Red Notice fugitives back to the Republic of Korea (ROK) at the request of the ROK law enforcement authorities.
The suspects allegedly set up operations in Tianjin in July last year and impersonated as financial sector staff in the ROK. They defrauded around 995 million won (about 887,000 U.S. dollars) in telecom fraud and had been wanted by law enforcement agencies of the ROK. The ROK nationals were also listed on the Interpol Red Notice.
At the request of the ROK side, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security swiftly deployed the Tianjin police to carry out investigations. The four suspects were deported and handed back to the ROK according to law, the Tianjin police said.
In recent years, the Chinese police have attached great importance to cracking down on transnational telecommunication fraud, and have strengthened cooperation with Interpol and police of other countries.
The close cooperation between the Chinese and the ROK police has demonstrated their confidence and determination in combating transnational crimes, the Tianjin police said.
