The funds exceeded 2.6 billion yuan, gambling-related funds exceeded 8 billion yuan, naked chat extortion amounts exceeded 17 million yuan, and organized prostitution illegal income exceeded 16 million yuan.
Today, we exclusively reveal the whole story of the crimes committed by the Liu family group in northern Myanmar, known as the "richest man in Kokang", and see how the Chinese police peel off the cocoon and uncover the "black core" behind the glamorous appearance of the Liu family's business empire.
The most fast-growing electric park!
The road to wealth of "the richest man in Kokang": corporate operation
Liu Zhengxiang is the patriarch of the Liu family in Kokang in northern Myanmar. He was born in the Kokang region of Myanmar in 1962 and started his career as drug trafficking in his early years. "Founder and Chairman of Fulilai Group and Commander-in-Chief of the Longtang Militia Brigade" is his current external title. Compared with the heads of other families, he has no political "aura", but it does not affect the Liu family's Myanmar North Electric Power's expansion of fraud territory.
After completing the bloody and primitive accumulation through early drug crimes, in 1996, Liu Zhengxiang and his family members established the Welfare Lai Company in Kokang, northern Myanmar. As the "base camp" of his family's power, they began to set foot in and lay out more diversified "gold" road.
Shi Linyuan, leader of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Public Security Bureau of Longyan City, Fujian Province: In 2015, after his trading company continued to grow and develop, it was upgraded to Welfare Lai Group. In the later period, the second barrel of black gold was to "upgrade" his entire family through the gambling industry and pornography industry.
The welfare group of "one more step" in the corporate operations model to gather all kinds of industries under the name of Liu and coordinate management, Liu and his direct relatives each take on the core functions of the welfare group, and control the entire group's operations direction.
In addition to Liu, his brother and son respectively held leadership positions in the welfare group.
Liu Jiguang: The second son of Liu Zhengxiang, executive director of Fulilai Group, and the second deputy chief commander of the Kokang Longtang Militia Brigade;
Liu: Liu's fourth brother, president of the welfare group, first deputy general commander of the Longtan militia;
Liu Zhengmao: Cousin of Liu Zhengxiang, general manager of Fulilai Group.
Liu Xinhing: The welfare group developed hotels and casinos, and slowly, most of the East Town district of Burma's old street became my site.
Instead of licking the blood on the knives of drug crimes, the gambling and pornography industries seem to be able to make them “high-powder” for the Liu family.
With these low-risk and fast-income black ash industries paving the way, Liu's wealth pattern of "day-to-day struggle" began to steadfastly stand in the corners of large families in Myanmar and North Korea. unlike other families, Liu's political resources were insufficient, forcing him to seize more wealth and engage in political climbing to gain greater economic benefits.
He thinks money can open the way, everything can be diverted through money, some relationships, and some people.So during the course of his business, he paid special attention to some former officials who have retired or left the government of Myanmar, digged them up, found relationships for him, and made some paths for his political attachment.
"Relying on wealth and power" is Liu Zhengxiang's "destiny symbol" to always preserve his seat of power and living space during the regime change intertwined with the turmoil in northern Myanmar. Those "political assistance" that stems more from the binding of economic interests support him to continue to develop and grow his ambitions.
On the basis of illegal industries, the welfare group also advanced in the construction of real estate, border trade, civil brigade and infrastructure such as hydropower and network in North Myanmar, gradually forming Liu's commercial monopoly position in the local area.
Until 2018, the continuous transfer of telecommunications network fraud to northern Myanmar ushered in another round of so-called "new development."
Fujimori, Fujimori Province, Dragon Rock City Public Security Bureau Criminal Detective Squad Captain Shilin: In the Old Street East Side of Fujimori, a lot of high-rise buildings are owned by his family, such as the welfare, the cyclone, the Merida, which are all his industries.
Let Kim master "make free money for free flowers, each wants to bring home"
The Liu family controls the entire chain of black production ecology
Among the four major families, the Liu family is considered to be one of the earliest families in Kokang, northern Myanmar to systematically carry out electric fraud. The reason why it is called "systematic" is that Liu Family used his own business group to evolve electronic fraud from a criminal form into a highly organized and large-scale criminal "industry." The electronic fraud parks of other families operate in their own way, while the Liu family operates in a corporate management model, which not only makes the crime of electronic fraud "more efficient and standardized", but also achieves the resulting illegal and criminal benefits. Full chain coverage.
Deep involvement in e-fraud crime, Liu's first " advantage" is to bring the accompanying facilities and perfected real estate projects directly into the ready-made e-fraud park, and provide "pick-in accommodation" services for the fraudsters who are continuously flowing into Myanmar.
Suspect Liu Zhengmao: The original rent was 1.5 million yuan a month, and later it was 1 million yuan a month, based on the market price.
After sharply realizing the "employment needs" of the major parks, Liu also used the human resources and social influence accumulated in the local area, positioned himself in the role of the "intermediary", quickly established a guarantee company, to provide a source of "human resources" for the various e-fraud parks in Northern Myanmar, becoming an important link in the control of this human trafficking chain, profit from which.
Yang Linjian, a member of the task force to investigate the Liu family criminal group in northern Myanmar: High-paying recruitment lures and snakeheads organize smuggling, but there is a lack of trust foundation between them and the so-called "talent market" overseas, and welfare comes to see business opportunities and build a platform to achieve the goal of making money at both ends. That is, domestic organizers and stowaways pay him money and benefits, and overseas employees who need electronic fraud parks also have to pay money, so that he can maximize his own interests.
There is a place, people, and "projects", the operation and expansion of Liu's electric fraud park is not less than the company's old-fashioned "pull-off help", originally the welfare group earned a lot of money by opening offline casinos and online gambling, with the injection of telecommunications network fraud, Liu's criminal group gained further expansion.
Guo Yan, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Longyan City, Fujian Province: Attract mainland people, trick them into smuggling abroad, and gamble in overseas casinos. At the same time, online casinos were opened and agents were recruited in China. Some online gambling was conducted in various provinces.
Suspect Liu Zhengmao: Our group has four casinos in Gugang and Dongcheng. Each casino has its website, as well as other websites. Every day, the turnover may be tens of millions of yuan.
The Liu family is not willing to only "earn" money from electronic fraud. As the electronic fraud parks of major families have emerged in northern Myanmar, nearly 100,000 people gathered during the peak period. Liu quickly captured "business opportunities" and directly focused on the financial owners and executives of major parks who were holding huge amounts of fraud by integrating and renovating hotels, KTVs and other entertainment venues under the group's name.
Qiu Xiongwei, a member of the task force investigating the Liu Family Criminal Group in northern Myanmar: He found that the money from these gold owners came too easily, and they all spent a lot of money, so he improved the quality of the entire casino for them. For example, a Texas Hold 'em area is set up specially for a certain gold lord. These gold lords go to him to gamble, and then he draws a commission in it. Since there were more financial owners, he re-established two new entertainment venues, which really allowed them to make money and spend it for free, and each time they wanted to take it home.
Police found that Liu’s welfare group organized the recruitment and abduction of a large number of Chinese women to smuggle abroad, directly or forcibly to participate in prostitution, through the opening of porn entertainment venues. At the same time, these venues also specially equipped for drug smoking, provide “good water” and other drugs to Kim’s customers, and in a seductive and compulsory way arranged for the prostitute to accompany the guests to smoke drugs.
Special Police Group: How much is the total profit from the opening to the final closure?
Suspect Xu Rudong: The profit is about 150 million yuan.
Civil Police Specialist Group: Which Profits Are Principally Income?
Crime Suspect 许汝东: Drinking water income.
Zhang Rao, a member of the investigative team of the Liu Family Crime Group in Myanmar, spent an average of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per night, earning about 600,000 yuan per day. From his business summary, for example, on June 25, 2023, he earned 678,000 yuan on the same day. These simply do not include daily consumption of drugs, each of which he can earn money.
Relying on welfare to come to the group's industry, the Liu family provides not only a "supporting service chain" that is systematically squeezed, but also a "fund laundering chain" that converts fraudulent money.
Through its own casino, entertainment venues and water, electricity, and network construction operations generated by the park and other industries, the fraudulent income is transferred into the corporate operating system, "cleaning", and completed the transformation from "black" to white.
It can be said that in this chessboard of four large families who are deeply involved in Burma-Northern electric fraud, Liu is a step-by-step camp and a greeting.
Fujian Province of Long Rong City Public Security Bureau Criminal Investigation Team Captain Shilin垣: Generally, the owner or executive level is eligible for the casino or entertainment venue consumption, are high consumption, the whole chain is a ring, are tied together, the black gray unfair income itself is also an unfair place, and also to the casino or entertainment venue of Liu's home consumption.
The left hand gives money, the right hand makes money.
Investigators find Liu's crime amount exceeds $1 billion
Liu Zhengxiang never missed every opportunity to make money. He started from drug trafficking. After making a fortune and transformation, he first tried to package himself in a commercial shell, and then sought an alliance with the power. The purpose was to protect the huge criminal industry he managed by himself, not only from external interference, but also to continuously seek more practical benefits for the Liu family.
Unlike other families that pay more attention to the distribution of political power and the control of armed forces, Liu Zhengxiang seems to care more about his social reputation.
Prior to the case, Qi Qi Gang served as the Minister of Culture of the welfare group, mainly responsible for drafting the group's senior leadership speech, website propaganda and foreign affairs, etc., the core task is to shape the image of the company's culture and packaging chairman.
Suspect Cui Moubang: You all know that people emphasize and attach importance to what they lack. Liu Zhengxiang was poor before, so he must pursue money; Liu Zhengxiang's education is low, so he wants to improve himself. When you have money, you must want to be beneficial, and when you have profits, you want to be famous. I have a junior high school degree to eat the monarch's salary and do things loyal to the monarch, because the cultural level in that place is very low, so we can just make up for it and deal with it casually.
In addition to the daily image packaging, Liu also funded the establishment of a charitable foundation, through donations, donations, donations to schools, successfully dressed themselves in the "loving people" and "social wisdom" coat. On the surface, dedicated to social livelihoods, regional development and other public interests, but in the darkness, focusing on the "timing of the moment", through the transportation of interests, the right to the source.
Yang Linjian, a member of the task force investigating the Liu family criminal group in northern Myanmar: He has long bets that whether it is the current ruler or some people who may be in power and in charge of the Kokang area in the future, they will use a large amount of money to continuously unblock relationships and maintain friendly relations. This brings him some political capital.
In the distinctive allocation of the four large families, the sphere of influence of Liu's family has been guarded by the bold old street East Town, and every evening the ban begins, Liu's site becomes the real "golden paradise" in the eyes of fraudsters.
Qiu Xiongwei, a member of the task force to investigate the Liu family criminal group in northern Myanmar: he can take drugs, go whoring and gamble. There is the integration of resources in various fraud parks, where they can obtain information, obtain fraud resources and exchange fraud technologies from each other. In Kokang East City, as long as he has money, he can do whatever he wants. If something goes wrong, the Liu criminal group can help him settle everything.
And controllable, such power comes from Liu Zhengxiang's private armed forces. However, Liu Zhengxiang, who has always been keen on political clinging and believed in relying on money to open the way, did not pay special attention to building his own armed forces at first.
Yang Linjian, a member of the task force investigating the Liu Family Criminal Group in northern Myanmar: Liu Zhengxiang does not have a direct political background like other families. He has actually lived in the cracks for a long time, has no armed forces, and is often bullied by other families. For example, he found a water source for the company and built a pool, but it was robbed by the Ming family; the cows on the farm were also robbed by the Ming family. Because he did not have an armed force in his hand, he did not dare to make a sound when he was bullied. At that time, he longed for an armed force.
Starting in 2015, the Liu family began to plan an armed force that could truly protect their family and industries. In 2017, they formally established the Longtang Militia Brigade as they wished, with one brigade and five squadrons, and gradually privatized the local security team and the criminal police team through funding.
With the rise of the electronic fraud "industry" in major families, the Liu family's militia has grown from the initial 90 people to a total scale of more than 500 people, equipped with a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, and the park has built a standard gun tower in a unified way. What the Liu family needs is Deterrence and strength coexist.
He has five relatively mature armed forces and armed forces, and the armed forces of the latter period are purely militarized arms. Among the large families in the bold region, his equipment is considered the most advanced because of his wealth of funds. His Eastern City security forces and police specialized in armed forces intervention for the fraud in his family, park district economic disputes, etc., to get the security forces or police locked in the small black house.
Armed protection, can both ensure the park industry "safe", resist external attacks, but also to suppress internal rebellion. For those who do not obey, want to escape, performance failure, disobey management want to jump off Liu's house, participate in gambling can not repay the gambling, etc., they will be under the coercion of various armed forces, torture.
Criminal suspects: Absolutely not to look at them as people, all kinds of torture and abuse. If the girl loses money in the casino, Brandon takes the money to the casino to redeem her, will also force her to use drugs, and sometimes even force her to prostitute.
Donating money and food with his left hand and fishing for black gold with his right hand. In Liu Zhengxiang's repeated life trajectory, he and his family have long deeply embedded the cancer of electric fraud into the structure of social development and local power in northern Myanmar. Let northern Myanmar's electricity fraud be no longer a simple crime, but use an enterprise-based structure, industrial chain, institutionalized management and politicized asylum to build telecom fraud into a huge "black" rooted in northern Myanmar. Industrial system ".
Shi Linyuan, leader of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Public Security Bureau of Longyan City, Fujian Province: Since the investigation of the project, it has been found that since the beginning, the Liu family has grown and grown step by step by infringing on the interests and property of the China people. It has now been verified that tens of thousands of people have been deceived in this way in the past few years, and cases abound.
Maintain national security and protect people's interests.
On October 1, 2023, the special case team successfully seized Liu Jingxi, an important member of Liu's criminal group.
On January 30, 2024, the Myanmar police handed over to our public security organs in accordance with the law, Liu Zhengxiang, Liu Zhengmao and other main suspects who were publicly wanted by our country.
After more than two years of arduous struggle, the team went to the conflict zone in northern Myanmar four times to collect evidence and obtain large amounts of certificates and electronic data.
With the core personnel of the Liu family to know the number, at present, the police have identified Liu's criminal group suspected of fraud, blackmail, illegal detention and other charges, verified that Liu's industry involves electronic fraud up to 28 places, gambling industry 7 places, the amount of crimes related to electronic fraud and gambling drugs and more than 10 billion yuan.
Guo Yan, deputy director of Longyan Public Security Bureau, Fujian Province: Although the Liu family's criminal group has collapsed, the middle-level backbones and financial owners of many criminal groups continue to do evil in some countries in Southeast Asia, and new criminal parks are still being set up. We must continue to crack down on criminal groups with the aim of eradicating them.
