BEIJING - A criminal suspect from the Republic of Korea (ROK), who allegedly operated an illegal gambling website, has been handed over to ROK authorities in Beijing after being apprehended by police in China.
The suspect allegedly operated an illegal gambling website in ROK from May to November in 2010. The suspect is also accused of attacking business rivals through computer hacking, according to China's Ministry of Public Security.
The individual, a suspected mafia organization member, has been punished for crimes on 13 occasions in ROK, according to the ministry.
