HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese and Lao police have successfully dismantled a large-scale human trafficking and online fraud ring, the Ministry of Public Security (MoPS) announced yesterday. The operation led to the arrest of 155 Vietnamese traffickers operating in the Golden Triangle zone, located in Bokeo Province, Laos. The Vietnamese police uncovered a cross-border criminal ring involved in various crimes, including human trafficking, organising illegal border crossings, and large-scale online fraud. Accommodations, including living and working spaces, were arranged in high-rise buildings within the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone in Bokeo Province, Laos. Using this method, the criminal ring swindled tens of thousands of victims, amassing hundreds of billions of đồng over two years.
