Taiwan’s representative office in Indonesia is negotiating the return of eight Taiwanese nationals being held on suspicion of internet fraud.

The eight Taiwanese nationals were part of a group of 68 recently arrested in Bali. The majority of those arrested are Mainland Chinese.

The group allegedly impersonated legal authorities and bank staff, and used threats of criminal investigation to extort money from victims. The group targeted people in China and Taiwan.

Indonesian police says that the suspects will be deported to their countries of origin after trial. This means that the eight Taiwanese nationals could be sent to China.
