Taiwan Snakehead Arrested on Mainland

The chief member of a major Taiwanese gang of "snakeheads" profiting from smuggling mainland women to Taiwan for prostitution has been arrested by police on the mainland, police sources in Xiamen said.

Shi Jianrong, 40, was arrested Sunday night at the Gaoqi International Airport in Xiamen, Fujian Province in southeast China just across the Taiwan Straits.

He was suspected of helping to smuggle mainland women to Taiwan, where he sold them to nightclubs in Taipei and other Taiwanese cities. The women brought up to 200,000 Taiwan dollars apiece, police said.

The police said Shi and two other key members of the gang made more than five million Taiwanese dollars from the business.

Xiamen police busted the gang in late May, arresting the chief, Li Jianyi, and 12 of the members.

Shi was arriving in Xiamen from Macao, and was trying to find the whereabouts of Li and the others, the police said.

The case is under further investigation.
