Edited [Regnum] China has carried out executions against 11 members of a large criminal group that controlled fraudulent call centers in northern Myanmar. China Central Television reported this on January 29. ![]() According to the court, since 2015, a criminal group known as the Min clan has established several closed centers in the Kokang and Laojie districts of Myanmar. Under armed guard, they operated telephone and online fraud, as well as illegal gambling operations. The total amount of criminal proceeds exceeded 100 billion yuan (approximately $14 billion). The investigation found that individuals involved in the fraudulent schemes were forcibly detained, beaten, and tortured. In some cases, this resulted in serious injuries and even death. At least 14 Chinese citizens fell victim to the crimes over the course of ten years. In September 2025, the Wenzhou City Court found the defendants guilty of premeditated murder, unlawful imprisonment, causing grievous bodily harm, fraud, and gambling. After appeals, the verdict was upheld and later confirmed by the Supreme People's Court of China. After receiving the appropriate orders, the death sentences were carried out. Before their executions, the convicts were granted visits from close relatives.
