Shenzhen court sentences five Myanmar gambling syndicate leaders to death
Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court sentenced five leading members of Myanmar-based Bai clan to death on 3 November for crimes including fraud, homicide and intentional injury. The court also convicted 21 other family members and associates, with sentences ranging from life imprisonment to terms of three to 20 years; authorities said the group’s operations defrauded victims of more than CNY29 billion.
The sentences demonstrate the criminal enforcement risks surrounding gambling-linked operations in northern Myanmar.
