Extra-large transnational network prostitution gangs define the division of labor, and brokers deliver personal information of prostitutes.

  CCTV News:Under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, the Shenzhen police recently cracked a transnational prostitution case using the online WeChat platform, arrested 349 suspects, and seized and frozen the funds and property involved totaling more than 32 million yuan.

  In September, 2017, shenzhen public received a special clue from the Ministry of Public Security, requesting to file an investigation on a domestic prostitution case organized by using the online WeChat platform in Malaysia. After receiving the clue, shenzhen public immediately organized a task force to carry out the investigation by various investigation methods. After more than three months of careful investigation, a transnational criminal gang headed by Hunan nationals Li and Liu gradually surfaced.

  Cai Chengrong, deputy detachment leader of shenzhen public Public Security Patrol Detachment: "This criminal gang is remotely commanded in Changsha, Hunan Province. In this Malaysian country, it uses the Internet and WeChat to organize a large number of prostitutes to engage in prostitution activities in China."

  The task force initially found out thatSince 2015, criminal gangs have set up five WeChat platforms to organize women’s prostitution, and wantonly carried out illegal and criminal activities. This criminal gang has a complex structure and a large number of people. In order to escape the domestic police, it gradually transferred its dens to Malaysia.In early December 2017, the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security sent a delegation to Malaysia to carry out police cooperation.

  171 suspects arrested in international and domestic cooperation

  In Malaysia, my working group provided a lot of clues and evidence of criminal gangs to the local police. After research and analysis and on-the-spot inspection, the police gradually implemented the dens hidden by criminal gangs, laying the foundation for centralized network collection.Criminal gangs have a total of five WeChat prostitution platforms, and there are many dens in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and other places in Malaysia, and these dens will often change their addresses. Penang is more than 400 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur. Investigators found that Li, the first figure of the gang, also came to Malaysia from China.

  With the deepening of investigation, MalaysiaThe personnel structure of the nine dens has gradually become clear, ranging from several people to dozens of people in each den.. In China, many dens of criminal gangs have also been locked in succession. The task force believes that the conditions for closing the network are already in place. At 15 o’clock on December 12, when Li went out by car from the den, he was intercepted by the Malaysian police. The arrest of Li started the first shot of the net-closing operation. With the coordination of the China Embassy in Malaysia and the strong support of the Malaysian police, the Ministry of Public Security directed Hunan, Guangdong and Malaysia to start the network closing simultaneously.A total of 171 suspects were arrested in the day’s operation, including 65 in Malaysia, and Liu, the second person of the gang, was also arrested in Hunan.

  Technology companies organize prostitution as a cover WeChat platform.

  On January 6th this year, 65 suspects arrested in Malaysia were chartered by our public security organs and escorted back to China. After sorting out the accounts of funds involved in criminal gangs headed by Li, the police found that they made huge profits. What kind of person is Li, the first person in the gang?

  The 32-year-old Li is a native of Hunan. The hardships of life have given him the idea of getting ahead when he grows up. After graduating from technical secondary school, Li stepped into the society. At first, he started a tutor company. Later, he wanted to start a technology company.

  Criminal suspect Li: "It takes a lot of money to be a technology company. In the process of circulation, I chose a shortcut and went astray. As a result, I came to this road."

  In order to earn money, Li started the activity of introducing girls to engage in prostitution, coaxing and wooing girls to engage in prostitution in Dongguan, Hong Kong and other places, and profiting from it.

  In 2015, Li partnered with his father’s adopted son Liu.With the illegal income from organizing prostitution before, I invested nearly 4 million yuan to set up Changsha Tomorrow Morning Technology Company as a cover., build a number of WeChat recruitment platforms. With the domestic public security organs’ efforts to crack down on pornography-related criminal activities in physical places, especially online organizations’ prostitution,In order to escape the arrest of the domestic police, Li transferred the members of these platform gangs abroad. Li has a major stake in every WeChat recruitment platform, which is very profitable. It is verified that in 2017 alone, Li bought six high-end houses and villas in Changsha and other places.

  The division of labor is clear, trying to escape the police attack through the Internet.

  This huge transnational network organization, the women’s prostitution gang, was completely destroyed by the centralized network. After the examination of the criminal suspects, the operation mode of the criminal gang gradually became clear. Relying on the Internet, they escaped the attack of the public security organs by means of "online organization, offline implementation" and "foreign command and domestic implementation", and organized women’s prostitution crimes on a large scale.

  When criminal gangs engage in whoring,The "bell houses" in various dens in Malaysia first recruit prostitutes directly through WeChat platform or cooperate with so-called brokers to obtain resources, and then push the picture numbers with personal information such as photos and measurements of prostitutes to domestic businesses.

  Criminal suspect Li: "The business is the usual taxi drivers and security guards."

  The business has a cooperative relationship with Li’s gang. They obtain the clients’ resources through WeChat friends circle, forum posting and distribution of soliciting cards, and provide the clients with the picture numbers of prostitutes to choose from.There is also a role in the process of wechat recruitment, which is the so-called broker. Brokers play an interactive role between prostitutes and clients’ platforms.In addition to the above-mentioned main prostitutes,The gang members also include financial and administrative personnel..In order to escape the attack, the gang also has special cashiers, who take out the whoring money with bank cards obtained by improper means and deposit them in their accounts to physically isolate the illegal income.

  Ministry of Public Security: Zero tolerance for crimes involving pornography

  After the case was solved, the person in charge of the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that the case was an outstanding case of online and offline hook-up implementation, professional operation of technical teams and prostitution crimes of transnational organizations, and it was an excellent model of Chinese-foreign police cooperation, which accumulated valuable experience for deepening the crackdown on similar cases.The person in charge of the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that the China police should keep a high-pressure and strike hard at illegal and criminal activities involving pornography, especially gang crimes, and insist on cracking down and eliminating all evils.

  Zhang Zuoliang, deputy director of the Public Security Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, said: "In view of the laws and characteristics of this kind of crime, we will constantly innovate the tactics and tactics, continue to deepen and intensify the crackdown, and resolutely cut off the personnel chain, capital chain, technology chain and interest chain of transnational and interregional criminal gangs."

  The black chain composed of organizers, operators, profiters and behind-the-scenes "umbrellas" of crimes involving pornography is hidden in the network. How to effectively and accurately crack down? This requires the joint efforts of all parties in the Internet industry. Among them, it is proved to be a good way to counter cyber crimes by technical means.

  Zhong Zhenkun, Network Security Expert of Internet Guardian Program:"We will also have the ability to continuously optimize the risk control of big data and the ability to identify such illegal behaviors, including when the WeChat user accesses some harmful links through WeChat, a built-in mobile housekeeper identification module will also block such harmful links to protect a related right of the user."
