Police nab online gamblers during World Cup

As the list of the teams in the ongoing 2018 FIFA World Cup has narrowed, Beijing police cracked down on an online gambling network on Thursday, arresting 46 suspects.

The network's cash flow hit more than 320 million yuan ($48 million) since the tournament began, the police said on Saturday.

Police focused on a Beijing resident, surnamed Zhang, who frequently made contact with overseas gambling platforms. They followed the lead and eventually discovered the network.
