China, the U.S., and Argentina’s law enforcement agencies conduct their first joint operation against telecom and online fraud crimes

According to CCTV News, law enforcement agencies from China, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates conducted their first-ever international law enforcement cooperation operation targeting telecom and online fraud in Dubai. The joint operation successfully dismantled nine fraud dens and arrested 276 suspects. Investigations revealed that the fraud gangs established “romantic” relationships with victims via social media platforms, gained their emotional trust, and then lured them into investing in purported high-return cryptocurrency projects—resulting in financial losses for the victims. A relevant official from China’s Ministry of Public Security stated that this joint operation represents a significant achievement in Chinese police forces’ international law enforcement cooperation. Chinese law enforcement will deepen pragmatic cooperation with more countries, conduct additional joint operations, resolutely eradicate telecom fraud dens, and spare no effort in apprehending suspects involved in telecom fraud—to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of people across all nations.
