"The Chinese government has executed 11 members of the Ming family crime syndicate. This comes after investigations into the criminal empire uncovered "intentional homicide, intentional injury, illegal detention, fraud, and operating gambling dens", as well as other penalties. In the announcement, which has been translated, the Supreme People's Court has confirmed that the group, led by Ming Guoping and Ming Zhenzhen, working alongside the "telecommunications fraud syndicate" led by other members, had conspired or committed various crimes."
"These crimes are described as "exceptionally heinous" in nature, which have been met with the "severe" punishment. That had been determined to be execution, which Ming Guoping, Ming Zhenzhen, Zhou Weichang, Wu Hongming, Wu Senlong, Fu Yubin, among others, will be or have already been subjected to. The press release provides limited detail on the gambling operations linked to the Ming family crime syndicate. While illegal gambling is listed among the crimes, the announcement focuses primarily on violent offenses and large-scale telecommunications fraud."
"Separate from this case, Chinese authorities have in recent years extradited several individuals accused of operating overseas gambling networks, among them She Zhijiang, who was returned from Thailand, and Chen Zhi, who had been based in Cambodia. These extraditions were part of broader law-enforcement efforts against cross-border gambling and scam operations, rather than specific details addressed in the Ming family verdict. However, they did operate gambling dens in their crime operations out of Myanmar."
Eleven members of the Ming family crime syndicate were executed after conviction for intentional homicide, intentional injury, illegal detention, fraud, and operating gambling dens. The Supreme People's Court confirmed leaders Ming Guoping and Ming Zhenzhen conspired with a telecommunications fraud syndicate to commit multiple crimes. The offenses were labeled exceptionally heinous and punished by execution for several named individuals. Official statements provide limited detail on gambling operations while emphasizing violent offenses and large-scale telecommunications fraud. Authorities have extradited other alleged overseas gambling-network operators as part of cross-border law-enforcement efforts. The syndicate originated in regional gambling and prostitution and expanded into scams and more serious criminal activity, exploiting local lawlessness.
