Nearly 200 people suspected of organizing and participating in prostitution through the Internet have been detained in connection with what police described as the most serious nationwide online crime in recent years.

The crackdown in August was a joint cooperation effort by police from Beijing, Chongqing and Guangdong province. Police captured 14 gangs with 184 suspects, including three people responsible for making a kind of spyware, Xu Jingfeng, a senior police officer in criminal investigations for Beijing's public security bureau, said on Thursday.

Some of the suspects responsible for organizing the prostitution are from Fengtai, Haidian and Chaoyang districts of the capital, while the suspected prostitutes are mainly from Chongqing, Xu said.
