Thailand.- The Thai government has extradited She Zhijiang<\/strong>, a Chinese-Cambodian businessman, to China, where he will face trial for allegedly running over 200 illegal online casino websites<\/strong> and money laundering. He was handed over to Chinese authorities on Wednesday, November 12<\/strong>, after Thailand’s Appeal Court upheld the extradition, ending more than three years of detention in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was arrested in Thailand in August 2022<\/strong> on a 2014 warrant<\/strong> from Chinese police, who accuse him of operating an illegal online gambling network of over 248 online fraud groups<\/strong> that swindled 330,000 people<\/strong>, mostly Chinese nationals, out of 2.7m yuan<\/strong> (US$380m). He has also been linked to the Asia Pacific New City complex in Myanmar’s Shwe Kokko Special Economic Zone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She Zhijiang was escorted by Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) special unit commandos from Bangkok Remand Prison to Suvarnabhumi Airport Police Station, where he was delivered to Chinese law enforcement. The transfer was carried out in accordance with the 1993 Extradition Treaty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
