PANews reported on January 8 that, according to the Ministry of Public Security, on January 7, with the support and cooperation of relevant Cambodian departments, the Ministry of Public Security dispatched a working group and successfully extradited Chen Zhi (a Chinese national), the head of a major cross-border gambling and fraud crime syndicate, from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, back to China. This is another significant achievement in law enforcement cooperation between China and Cambodia.

An investigation has revealed that Chen Zhi's criminal gang is suspected of multiple crimes, including operating casinos, fraud, illegal business operations, and concealing criminal proceeds. Chen Zhi has been placed under coercive measures in accordance with the law, and the case is under further investigation.

A relevant official from the Ministry of Public Security stated that the police will soon issue arrest warrants for the first batch of core members of Chen Zhi's criminal gang, and will resolutely bring all fugitives to justice. The police solemnly warn criminals to recognize the situation, pull back from the brink, and immediately surrender themselves to the authorities to receive lenient treatment.
