A total of forty fraud suspects, five of them from Taiwan, are brought back in police custody from Kenya to the Chinese mainland.

Meanwhile, 36 suspects in another fraud group who were deported in April have been arrested. They allegedly swindled more than 26 million yuan (U.S.$3.9 million) out of mainland residents by pretending to be members of Beijing and Shanghai police. The two groups were believed to have colluded in fraud activities.

For the five suspects from Taiwan, the Chinese mainland police have kept their Taiwan counterparts informed of all developments. Meanwhile, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the mainland has said on Monday that all the telecom fraud victims and major evidences are in Chinese mainland. So it will help investigate the case effectively and thoroughly to keep all the suspects in mainland. The office also said the decision is welcomed by mainland and Taiwan people.
