Malaysia arrests 16 Chinese nationals wanted by Beijing over cross-border fraud network

Malaysia’s anti-corruption agency has arrested 16 Chinese nationals wanted by Beijing for allegedly operating a cross-border fraud network, state news agency Bernama reported.

The suspects have already been repatriated to China to stand trial following a crackdown on the scam center, Zamri Zainul Abidin, a senior director at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), told Bernama.

During the raid, MACC officials seized approximately 3.5 million ringgit ($890,000) in assets, including gold bars, foreign currency, and two luxury vehicles.

Authorities also confiscated laptops and mobile phones suspected of being used as the primary tools for the syndicate’s fraudulent operations.
