China Busts 597 In Online Gambling Crackdown
 

BEIJING - China has arrested 597 people allegedly connected with an underground online gambling network which involved funds totalling some 500 million yuan (60 million dollars), the Ministry of Public Security said.

The network was run by a Taiwan-based gambling company, which jointly organized online gambling activities in 22 provinces in China with Chinese criminal syndicates, Xinhua news agency quoted the ministry as saying.

China is launching an assault on gambling websites as part of a sweeping campaign to prevent officials from betting away public money.

The Ministry of Information Industry, the top agency in charge of the Internet, will tighten supervision of online content and crack down on offenders, state media said earlier.
