Human Smuggling Rackets Cracked in East China
Police in east China's Jiangsu Province recently cracked three human smuggling rackets, leading to the arrests of 19 human traffickers and other suspects.
The fall of the groups is the result of an anti-stowaway campaign launched by the border police in the port city of Lianyungang in March.
Human smugglers Xu Guangli and Zhang Genxi were intercepted by Shanghai police while at sea in May last year when they were attempting to smuggle a group of stowaways, said the police.
Two other human smugglers, Liu Yifu and Song Shihua, are suspected of trafficking in over 50 persons abroad since 1996, collecting charges totaling nearly one million yuan.
