A computer engineer surnamed Li from Mainland China married a Taiwanese wife and came to Taiwan, ostensibly to open a technology company. In reality, he was working as an online customer service representative for gambling websites and online casinos. The company was located in a building directly opposite Nvidia's office in the Neihu District of Taipei. After extensive investigation, the Criminal Investigation Bureau raided the place in May this year, detaining Li and 31 others. It was found that the casino under the company had reached a gambling amount of 120 billion yuan in just three months, and after questioning, they were transferred for prosecution on gambling charges.
Last October, the first division of the Criminal Investigation Bureau patrolled online and discovered illegal gambling activities involving online casinos such as Bodog, Lai Lai, Zun Long, and J9. A special task force was formed to gather evidence, and after long-term surveillance and undercover operations, it was discovered that Li used employees as fronts to establish companies, recruiting young people with salaries ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 yuan per month. The company was located in a commercial office building right across from the Nvidia company.
In May, the task force raided and brought back the person in charge, Li, and a total of 31 employees, seizing computer hosts, mobile phones, and other evidence. It was found that several online casino websites under the company had accumulated betting amounts reaching 120 billion yuan from last October to January this year. Li's company provided customer service for gambling websites, charging a commission of 140,000 US dollars per month.
The police and prosecutors have now applied to the court to seize the company, Li's and others' accounts totaling 8 million yuan, and a piece of real estate. The entire case is being prosecuted for gambling crimes.
