This is not the first time Türkiye has cracked a Taiwan fraud group this year. The Turkish Gendarmerie Command announced on May 26 this year that it had cracked an Internet telecommunications fraud group in Kemer, Antalya Province, which was located in Taiwan and targeted Taiwanese people.
News involving fraud in Taiwan is common
Search for related news in the media, and reports related to fraud cases in Taiwan are common. For example, in June this year, the news that a group of repatriated Taiwanese fraudsters made a big splash in the epidemic prevention hotels on the island attracted attention on the island. "Dongsen News" reported that the fraud group had a total of 48 people. In early 2021, they went to North Macedonia to set up a fraud room and redirect the fraud via phone. They were deported from North Macedonia a few days ago, and after arriving in Taiwan, they were immediately sent to an epidemic prevention hotel in Kaohsiung, quarantine. However, these fraudsters ignored epidemic prevention regulations and regarded isolation as "vacation", visited and chatted in various rooms, and were smoking and making noise in the house, which was so loud that people nearby heard it.
Reports about fraud groups in Taiwan are common
Taiwan fraud crimes "flower everywhere"
People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have suffered greatly
As early as the early 1990s, there were already fraud groups in Taiwan, which were called " Golden Light Party " at that time. According to statistics from Taiwan media, in 2006 alone, the property losses of Taiwan due to telecom fraud reached NT$18.59 billion NT$4. Around 2006, fraudsters on the island extended their hands to their mainland compatriots. The gradually growing wealthy mainland people are increasingly becoming the target of Taiwan's fraud groups.
As mainland police increase their crackdown on telecom fraud in accordance with the law, coupled with the signing of the "Agreement on Joint Combating Crime and Judicial Mutual Assistance between Cross-Straits" in April 2009, Taiwan's fraud group no longer uses the mainland as its main base, but has moved to Southeast Asia and other places, and then spread to many places around the world like a virus. A fraud crime model with "the head in Taiwan, the computer room in the world, and the victim in the mainland" has taken shape.
In April this year, the Haidian District People's Court of Beijing issued a verdict that the 46 Taiwan provincial fraud suspects who extradited Spain to return to China were sentenced to penalties ranging from 4 years to 13 years, and fined them. Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, introduced that from 2016 to 2019, the Chinese and Spanish police launched a three-year joint crackdown on cross-border telecommunications network fraud crime " Great Wall Operation ". Spain extradited 225 criminal suspects to us in batches, including 218 Taiwanese criminal suspects. They frantically committed fraud against mainland people, with the amount involved reaching 120 million yuan. Many people's medical treatment, pension and school money were swept away by fraudsters, and Gansu teachers were deceived and committed suicide. " telecommunications network fraud crimes have serious social harm, and people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have suffered greatly, and they hate it deeply," Ma Xiaoguang emphasized.
Why is Taiwan Telecom fraud group repeatedly banned?
Taiwan media called for aggravated penalties for fraud
Compared with the mainland's crackdown on telecom fraud, the cost of fraud in Taiwan is too low. In mainland China, fraudsters can be sentenced to up to life imprisonment . Taiwan stipulates that the maximum sentence of fraud is five years, or a penalty of less than NT$500,000. Because the criminal responsibility is light and the fines can be easily imposed, Taiwanese fraudsters can quickly return to their old business after being sentenced, which undoubtedly encourages the fraudsters' arrogance. Police officers from the mainland task force who were responsible for arresting Taiwanese fraudsters said: "Previously, a group of Taiwanese suspects were arrested on Indonesian and sent back to Taiwan; three months later, they went to Philippines to arrest another group of Taiwanese suspects, and found that the same person was caught."
In order to effectively crack down on cross-border telecommunications fraud, since 2016, more and more Taiwanese suspects have been escorted back to the mainland. Mainland public security organs have also launched a comprehensive investigation of them, not only to find out all the criminal facts, but also prosecuted these Taiwanese criminal suspects in accordance with the law.Being tried in mainland China means that these defendants may face higher sentences than in Taiwan. If you want to take advantage of the law, there is no room for you.
Kenya Cross-border Telecommunications Fraud Cases Taiwanese suspect was escorted back to the mainland
Kenya Cross-border Telecommunications Fraud Cases in 2017 were publicly sentenced in Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court First instance. 44 Taiwanese criminals including Zhang Kaimin were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from to to 1 year and 9 months, and were deprived of political rights and fines. Before the verdict was announced, a Taiwanese criminal suspect said bluntly: "If I knew that the trial was in the mainland, I would never dare to do it. Because the sentence in mainland China may be the longest life, including the trouble of Taiwan's family members, I will be over for a lifetime."
But Taiwanese netizens' attitude was also very clear, and they all said, "It is right to send it to the mainland! Look at how the judges sentence it, and how we sentence it, which does not meet the expectations of the people. They repeatedly sloppy sentences have caused rampant fraud! How many people have been killed! It is right to severe sentences! At least the fraud group dare not commit it in mainland China!" "It is good to sentence it, Taiwan is not welcome, and the other side has to execute it on their behalf. Isn't it good? When I come back to Taiwan, the punishment is not serious, and I will continue to re-enter the old business after the deadline is released."
html For more than 0 years, Taiwanese society has reflected on the excessively light sentence of fraudsters, and called for aggravated punishment for fraud. Some media people even questioned that fraud crimes have been repeatedly banned, because the Taiwanese authorities do not want to deal with these fraudsters well.Source: Taithai
