Gambling ringleader sent back to China
The ringleader of a cross-border gambling and fraud syndicate in Myanmar, She Zhijiang, a Chinese Cambodian also known as Tang Kriang Kai, was escorted by Thai police to Bangkok's airport for extradition to China on Wednesday afternoon.
On Nov 10, Thailand's Office of the Attorney General announced that the Court of Appeal had upheld a lower court ruling approving She's extradition to China, where he is accused of operating illegal casinos.
According to a statement from Thai prosecutors, She will be sent to China "to stand trial for the illegal operation of casinos." Authorities said his crimes include creating and running 239 gambling websites with total transactions of about 2.7 billion yuan ($380 million). The statement also said he is suspected of organizing gambling and telecommunications fraud operations in Myanmar for an extended period, using online platforms to lure Chinese citizens into illegal transactions.
Interpol issued a Red Notice for She in May 2021, alleging that from January 2018 to February 2021, he led a criminal group that registered shell companies, developed online gambling platforms, and made about 150 million yuan in illegal profits, which were later transferred overseas.
She was arrested by Thai police in August 2022. Prosecutors subsequently filed an extradition request with the Criminal Court in accordance with legal procedures. In May 2023, the Criminal Court approved his extradition, a decision She appealed. In October 2025, the Court of Appeal upheld the initial ruling, clearing the way for his return to China.
