Over the past period, the Ha Tinh Provincial Police have taken drastic professional measures to stamp out a criminal network that organized online gambling activities, committed fraud, illegally appropriate assets in cyberspace, and conduct money laundering on a large scale. The local police have so far arrested and prosecuted eight suspects, seized 40 computers, 23 mobile phones, 10,000 SIM cards along with numerous documents and exhibits, as pieces of evidence, related to the case.
