Twins on trial for mafia-style gangs

Twin brothers Zhang Bo and Zhang Tao, the youngest gang bosses in China's southwestern Chongqing municipality, yesterday stood trial for organizing a mafia-style gang, following a crime crackdown in the city.

In Chongqing's No 2 Intermediate People's Court, the brothers, aged 23, were accused of organizing and leading a gang, running illegal gambling dens, injuring people, destroying others' possessions and imprisoning people illegally.

The trial, with 24 total defendants, is expected to continue today.
