Nepal detains 122 Chinese for cyber crime, bank fraud
Police in Nepal have detained 122 Chinese men and women in its biggest crackdown on crime by foreigners entering the country on tourist visas, officials said yesterday. The chief of police in the capital Kathmandu said the suspects were rounded up in raids on Monday following information that they were engaged in suspicious activities. The Chinese are suspected of cyber crime and hacking into bank cash machines, the police chief, Uttam Subedi, said. Another senior police officer, Hobindra Bogati, said the Chinese embassy knew about the raids and had supported the detentions. Last week, authorities in the Philippines arrested 342 Chinese workers in a raid on an unlicensed gambling operation.
