At a press conference held by the SPC, it was revealed that by the end of 2025, courts across the country had concluded first-instance trials of over 27,000 cases related to telecom fraud operations in northern Myanmar, with more than 41,000 returned suspects sentenced. Notably, among the trials of the so-called"four major families" criminal gangs -- which had drawn widespread domestic and international attention -- those of the Ming and Bai groups have completed all judicial proceedings. A total of 39 individuals received sentences of life imprisonment or heavier penalties, including 16 sentenced to death. The two cross-border armed criminal rings have been completely dismantled, delivering a heavy blow to criminal elements both at home and abroad. According to the SPC, Chinese courts have been imposing stringent, efficient, and comprehensive punishments on telecom and online fraud crimes to effectively safeguard the personal and property safety of the people. From 2021 to 2025, courts nationwide concluded over 159,000 first-instance cases of telecom and online fraud, sentencing more than 338,000 defendants. Notably, while the number of concluded cases and sentenced defendants saw significant year-on-year increases of 48.4 per cent and 38.6 per cent in 2023, and 29.4 percent and 26.7 per cent in 2024, the growth rate slowed markedly in 2025, with increases of only 1.2 per cent and 4.5 per cent, respectively.Budget reveal: Government turns matchmaker with stronger hand in shaping economyChina zoo uses old videos of dead tiger cub to seek donations, prompting demands for apologiesMalaysia Airlines flights to Doha, Jeddah return to KLIA following conflict-area advisory
