Chinese nationals have pleaded guilty to committing cyber-related crimes in Zambia.
They are among 77 suspects who were arrested in April in connection to what authorities described as a "sophisticated internet fraud syndicate"

The swoop on a Chinese-run company in the capital, Lusaka, followed an alarming rise in internet fraud cases in the country, targeting people in countries around the world.
The Chinese nationals are set to be sentenced on Friday, local media report.

There have been increasing cases of Zambians losing money from their mobile and bank s through money-laundering schemes which extend to other foreign countries, the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) said in April

People in countries including Singapore, Peru, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and others across Africa have also been targeted in the online scam, Zambian authorities said.
Dozens of young Zambians were also arrested after allegedly being recruited to be call-centre agents in the fraudulent activities, including internet fraud and online scams, the DEC said during the arrests.

After a trial lasting several weeks, the 22 Chinese nationals, including one female, pleaded guilty to three charges - computer-related misrepresentation, identity-related crimes, and illegally operating a network or service.

The 22, along with a Cameroonian national, were charged with manipulating people's identities online with intent to scam them.
The accused hold different positions in the Chinese-run Golden Top Services, the company at the centre of the raid.
The company, located in Roma, an upmarket suburb of Lusaka, is yet to comment on the allegations.
Li Xianlin, believed to be the director of the company, was charged with operating the network without a licence from the Zambian authorities.
On Tuesday, the state prosecutor requested the court to include more details about the charges.
The Zambian nationals were charged in April and released on bail so they could help the authorities with their investigations.
Authorities said the Zambians involved had been tasked "with engaging in deceptive conversations with unsuspecting mobile s across various platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, chatrooms and others, using scripted dialogues".

Among equipment seized were devices allowing callers to disguise their location and thousands of Sim cards

During the raid, 11 Sim boxes were discovered - these are devices that can route calls across genuine phone networks.
More than 13,000 Sim cards, both local and foreign, were also confiscated, demonstrating "the extent of the operation's reach," according to the DEC.

Two firearms and about 78 rounds of ammunition were confiscated and two vehicles, belonging to a Chinese national linked to the business, were also impounded during the raid.

An international crime syndicate... China style.
Criminal syndicates and gangs still operate below the radar from time to time on the Chinese Mainland and in Hong Kong despite the stiff punishments that are applied for these kinds of crimes in China.

Do they serve super hydrated beans daily in Zambia too!?

Chinko deserves a diet

Drug enforcement arresting cyber criminals una lack manpower abi na oversabi?

I'm not surprised these Asians have started migrating to Africa to fully commence their criminal activities.
I'm always amazed at how naive some Nigerians believe we are the fraud capital of the World.
I don't have the figures but I daresay Pakistanis, Indians and Chinese citizens are the biggest Fraudsters in the World.
The only difference is they don't spend money on flagrant display of wealth. These people are cyber experts and for every Dollar a Nigerian makes,these Asians make more than 10 times.
I believe these Asians will keep relocating to Africa unless we start training our own citizens on cyber issues.
The more we keep relying on these Asians to lead our cyber operations In Africa,expect more news like this all over Africa,these people are exporting their criminals to take over our cyber space.
God bless Nigeria.

Ok

Thank God for the first time crime related to cyber crime Nigeria is not mentioned. Oluwa thank you

Spanish Donkey Torture

It was shaped like a pommel horse in gymnastics, but with a pointed triangular edge facing upwards. This device’s shape ensured that its victims received a gruesomely agonizing experience.

The offender would be stripped of all of their clothes and then made to straddle what was essentially a triangular piece of metal with a board placed over it to form a sawhorse-type shape.

They we're probably investigating them for drugs before they discovered they were yahoo boys.

The same way EFCC investigates yahoo boys before discovering they are actually kidnappers.
