Accused fraudsters from Taiwan confess

A total of 32 suspected telecom fraudsters from Taiwan, who are currently detained on the Chinese mainland, have confessed to their crimes, the Ministry of Public Security said on Saturday.

They were being held at two detention centers in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.

Sixty-five suspects from the mainland and the 32 from Taiwan were deported by Malaysia to the mainland last month. They belonged to five criminal syndicates, according to a ministry statement issued after mainland police and a delegation of judicial officials from Taiwan wrapped up a three-day meeting in Zhuhai.
