Police Bust Online Gambling Ring in Taoyuan
Police have arrested six people from Taoyuan in connection with an online gambling operation. Among the six, one man is suspected as being the ringleader of the online gambling business.
Police also seized eight computers, two printers, seven mobile phones and other electronic devices, the Police department said.
The gambling website allowed people to place bets on a range of sports competitions being held overseas, including baseball, basketball and football, as well as in Hong Kong’s popular Mark Six lottery. The illegal gambling ring had raked in profits of millions of Taiwan dollars this year based on total bets of NT$2.2 billion (US$70.88 million).
The suspected ringleader has admitted that he was running the gambling site. The case has now been handed over to the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office for further investigation.
