China has executed 11 members of a notorious family that ran scam centres in Myanmar, state media report. A court in Zhejiang province sentenced the Ming family members for crimes including homicide, illegal detention, fraud and operating gambling dens in September. The Ming family was one of several clans that ran Myanmar’s sleepy town of Laukkaing, close to the border with China. Their scam empire came crashing down in 2023, when Myanmar authorities arrested them and handed them to China. The Ming mafia’s scam operations and gambling dens brought in more than 10bn yuan ($1.4bn; £1bn) between 2015 and 2023, according to the court.
