91 sentenced over telephone fraud

A Beijing judge sentenced 91 people on Sunday for their involvement in a multinational telephone scam that targeted elderly Chinese.

The trial is the first following a joint crackdown by police in China and Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Prosecutors said the defendants were part of a gang working out of Indonesia that posed as court and police officials to dupe Chinese victims.
