According to the information, authorities arrested 79 thousand suspects, including 263 people who financed, directed or were in charge of criminal activities in the sector.
The ministry worked together with countries such as Thailand, the Philippines and Cambodia in international missions that led to the identification and subsequent destruction of “multiple criminal dens abroad”, as well as the capture of more than 3,000 suspects.
A joint operation with Myanmar aimed at criminal organizations involved in cross-border telecommunication scams, allowed more than 31 thousand suspects to be handed over to China since last September.
The Ministry of Public Security is preparing regulations for the imposition of comprehensive penalties for fraud offenders in this sector, with punishments that include restricted use of bank accounts, cell phones and social media, as well as inclusion in a blacklist of credit defaulters.
