China Executes Four Members of Notorious Bai Crime Family for Fraud and Murder

Beijing. China has executed four members of the Bai mafia family. The execution was carried out on members of the notorious family who ran an organized fraud operation in Myanmar.

They were convicted in Guangdong Province for fraud, mass murder, and several other crimes. Last November, the court sentenced five members of this family to death. Among those sentenced was the family patriarch, Bai Suocheng. Suocheng died of illness before the sentence could be carried out.

Last week, China also executed 11 members of another notorious gang, the Ming family. This is part of Beijing's extensive crackdown against organized cyber fraud spreading across Southeast Asia.

For years, the Bai, Ming, and several other families controlled the border city of Laukkai in Myanmar, running casinos, brothels, and cyber fraud centers. The Bai family maintained its own armed forces and built 41 secure compounds where workers were beaten and tortured, the court stated.

According to the court, the Bai family's criminal activities led to the deaths of six Chinese citizens, one suicide, and many others injured. The Chinese government claims that such actions will weaken international fraud networks and enhance the security of its citizens.
