Thousands face charges in China for internet, telecom fraud

China has become a hot bed of internet fraud. In the last 9 months, over 22,000 faced charges for internet and telecom fraud. A Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) investigation department statement has called for quicker efforts to deal with cyber and telecom fraud and to tackle the problem at its root.


Chinese authorities want prosecutors to better understand the harm of such violations, calling for a heavy- hitting approach. It also requires timely and sufficient work in collecting evidence. So far in 9 months, Chinese prosecutors have indicted 22,268 people in 8,257 cases for the violations.

As per the SPP, between January and September, prosecutors also lodged accusations against 710 people in 334 cases of computer-related crimes, such as hacking computer systems, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
