For the first time, police from China, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates have launched a joint operation to combat telecom and online fraud, resulting in the arrest of 276 suspects.
According to the official WeChat account of China’s Ministry of Public Security on Sunday (May 17), police from China, the US, and the UAE have, for the first time, undertaken international law enforcement cooperation, jointly cracking down on telecom and online fraud crimes in the Dubai region, dismantling nine fraud dens and arresting 276 suspects.
The Ministry of Public Security stated that the investigation revealed these fraud rings established “romantic” relationships with victims through social media platforms, winning their emotional trust, and then lured the victims into investing in so-called high-return cryptocurrency projects, causing the victims to be defrauded.
A relevant official from the Ministry of Public Security said that this joint operation is an important result of China’s international law enforcement cooperation; Chinese police will deepen pragmatic cooperation with more countries, carry out joint operations, resolutely wipe out telecom fraud dens, and go all out to hunt down suspects involved in telecom and online fraud crimes.
