On Sunday (6th), the Yubei District Public Security Bureau of Chongqing announced that under the guidance of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the authorities had successfully solved a case of assisting in information network crime activities, arrested a Tianjin female suspect on the spot, seized nearly 1.18 million yuan (RMB, the same below, about 1.31 million Hong Kong dollars) involved in the case, and taken criminal coercive measures.
The case states that the suspect Li was handling a large withdrawal transaction at a bank branch in Yubei District on the 13th of last month. The bank staff noticed that he was nervous and had abnormal fund flow in his bank account. When questioned, he was even more evasive. After the police arrested Li, they launched an investigation and found that he went to Chongqing in June and, under the guidance of an overseas money laundering group, opened personal accounts and merchant payment QR codes in multiple banks under the pretext of engaging in business activities, thereby transferring fraudulent funds.
After investigation, Li's bank card was involved in 9 fraud cases, defrauding a total of 25 people's funds. The Yubei District Public Security Bureau stated that on the 24th of last month, the authorities had returned about 430000 yuan (about 480000 Hong Kong dollars) of defrauded funds to five victims, and will subsequently return the remaining funds to other victims in accordance with the law, and dig deep into the money laundering group behind Li.
