Four involved in telecom fraud cases sentenced to life in China

Beijing: A Chinese court on Monday sentenced four “key figures” involved in cross-border telecom fraud cases to life imprisonment as China stepped up a crackdown against the gangs luring local and foreigners to work in scam centres in Myanmar. The four accused left China to form telecom fraud organisations with one of them, surnamed Yu, organising several people to go abroad to commit crimes, the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) said.
