Alleged scam-network mastermind Chen Zhi could face the death penalty, with Chinese prosecutors adding intentional injury to the list of charges against him. He founded the Cambodian conglomerate Prince Group, which authorities say was linked to a sprawling online scam network. Caixin reported on Monday (Jul 27) that prosecutors dropped a previous count of concealing criminal proceeds but added copyright infringement and intentional injury charges. Two of his top operatives have been sent back to China and charged with crimes from illegal detention to intentional injury. Li Xiong, former chairman of the board at the Huione Group, a Prince Group subsidiary, was extradited in April.
