4 Chinese arrested in Bangladesh for money fraud

Dhaka: Four Chinese nationals were arrested in a raid in Uttara area of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh on Friday. They are: Xiao Yun (42), Liu Jianwu (43), Yan Liu Jun (39) and Li Min (32). Two women, two men.
Investigators were surprised by the massive money fraud involving four Chinese nationals. The criminal activities of the gang of Chinese nationals, especially in Uttara, are seen as ‘novel’ by the officials involved in the investigation.
The court took them into custody for three days.
According to several police officials, Chinese citizen Li Wenjing has a restaurant business on Road No. 8 of Uttara Sector No. 3. She managed this business with her husband Shah Jahangir Alam. Being Chinese owned, the restaurant is mainly a hangout for the country’s citizens living in and around Uttara.
Wayne met Jilin, his compatriot, and gradually grew closer to him through a job at a department store in Bangladesh. A few days ago, Wen offered to supply Jilin with various products from China at low prices. In response to the proposal, Jilin said that if Bangladeshi currency is given to him in Dhaka, it will be possible for him to buy goods from China in the country’s currency. Jilin finalized the conversation with Chen Yang, another Chinese citizen, about what kind of products and how to send them to Bangladesh.
After that, Jilin was waiting for Chen Yang at his restaurant on Wednesday evening after taking Tk 50 lakh in Bangladeshi currency from Wen. After a long time, Chen Yang did not come. At one point, a few Chinese nationals, including women, appeared at the restaurant in the name of his representative. They told Jilin that Chen Yang had sent them to collect the 50 million rupees and were in a hurry to hand over the money.
At that time, it was also reported that Chen had already sent Chinese currency in exchange for Bengali currency to Jilin’s account number. Suspicious of their conversation, Jilin refused to pay. At this stage, the group of Chinese nationals fled with the money after first being intimidated and then beaten. Later, Jilin filed a case as a plaintiff, stating that there were 3,000, 1,000 taka notes and 4,000, 500 taka notes among the seized money. (UNI)
