A Beijing court is expected today to pass its verdict on an international telecom fraud case involving 44 Taiwanese suspects who were deported from Kenya to China.
It is to be the first verdict to be delivered on cases involving Taiwanese telecom fraud suspects deported from other countries to China.
A total of 85 suspects stood trial in Beijing from July 18 to July 20 in a cross-border telecom fraud case, including 44 Taiwanese, who were arrested in Kenya and extradited to China in April last year, the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court said.
Thirty-five of the suspects were accused of carrying out fraudulent activities in Indonesia from June to November in 2014, before traveling to Kenya. [FULL STORY]
