After signing the employment agreement, they will immediately hand over to the Cambodian smuggler group to take over and send the victims to the Cambodian fraud park. illegally detained him and forced him to engage in telecommunications fraud. From early November 2021 to the time of his arrest, the illegal profits were initially estimated to exceed NT$12 million.
After collecting the testimonies of the 30 rescued victims in January this year, the local prosecutors launched another prosecution against Li Zhenhao's gang. According to accusations by the prosecutor, one of the victims was a young couple who were lured to Cambodia by Li Zhenhao's human trafficking organization and then detained in two places. During the period, the woman claimed to have been sexually assaulted. However, due to insufficient evidence and other reasons, no further investigation has been conducted. .
According to prosecutors’ accusations, Li Zhenhao has jointly established a fraud and human trafficking organization with Cambodian “Ba Ye”, “Xiao Baibai” and others since November 2021, and used social platforms to publish recruitment advertisements for Cambodian gambling and game customer service, etc. Salaries, easy loans, assistance in paying off small debts, etc. are used to lure young people who are unemployed and have high debts to go to Cambodia. After arriving in Cambodia, members of the organization will force the victims to engage in telecommunications fraud for the Cambodian Telecom Fraud Group.

After the trial, the court held that Li Zhenhao and other nine people were in their prime and had the ability to make a living through legitimate work, but they did not want to make a living through legitimate work. In order to obtain high profits, they seriously endangered personal legal interests and public security, which was a serious crime. Four of them, including Li Zhenhao, all denied the crimes they committed and even made excuses, apparently showing no remorse. Although Lin Jinyu and other five people confessed to the crimes they committed, they still avoided the serious and trivial, and it is difficult to admit that they had any intention of deep remorse.
