Gambling ringleader sent back to China

The ringleader of a cross-border gambling and fraud syndicate in Myanmar, She Zhijiang, a Chinese Cambodian also known as Tang Kriang Kai, was escorted by Thai police to Bangkok's airport for extradition to China on Wednesday afternoon. On Nov 10, Thailand's Office of the Attorney General announced that the appellate court had upheld a lower court ruling approving She's extradition to China, where he is accused of operating illegal casinos. According to a statement from Thai prosecutors, She was sent to China "to stand trial for the illegal operation of casinos." Authorities said his crimes include creating and running 239 gambling websites with total transactions of about 2.77 trillion yuan ($389.25 billion). The statement also said he is suspected of organizing gambling and telecommunications fraud operations in Myanmar for an extended period, using online platforms to lure Chinese citizens into illegal transactions.
