Police arrest hundreds of Chinese suspects for setting up a 10,000 billion VND gambling ring
An online gambling ring with an unprecedented amount of money transacted and a large number of foreigners detained has just been discovered in Hai Phong.
The Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention (Ministry of Public Security) in coordination with Hai Phong City Police has just discovered more than 380 Chinese people participating in organizing and operating websites that organize Chinese citizens to gamble online through sports betting, predict lottery results, and play lottery numbers...
Authorities identified this as a criminal organization hiding under the guise of a foreign-invested enterprise in Vietnam. The suspects operated in small groups, all activities were closed and had almost no contact with outsiders. It is estimated that more than 3 billion yuan (about 10,000 billion VND) was traded on the system.

The police seized nearly 2,000 smartphones, more than 530 computers of various types, many bank cards, cash, and many other items. This is the case with the largest number of foreigners and the largest amount of money involved in online gambling and betting ever busted in Vietnam.
Previously, on July 27, about 500 Hai Phong police raided a gambling den located in the Our City urban area (Hai Thanh ward, Duong Kinh district), discovering about 400 Chinese people there.
A source from Hai Phong Police said that authorities will hand over all arrested foreigners to Chinese police for handling according to the extradition agreement signed between the two countries.
