A Chinese court has sentenced to death 11 members of a notorious family that ran scam centres in Myanmar, according to Chinese state media.
Dozens of members of the Ming family were found guilty of conducting criminal activities, with many receiving lengthy jail sentences.
The Ming family worked for one of the four clans that ran Myanmar's sleepy backwater town of Laukkaing, close to the border with China, and turned it into a hub for gambling, drugs and scam centres.
Myanmar eventually cracked down, arresting many members of these families in 2023 and handing them over to Chinese authorities.
