Li Zhenhao, who worked as an extra in the Taiwanese movie "Jiaotou" (jiaotou usually refers to a local or gang leader), colluded with others to lure 88 people to Cambodia and sold them to a local fraud group to make a profit.
In April 2023, the local court in Taiwan sentenced Li Zhenhao to 18 years in prison. The other accomplices in the same case were each sentenced to 11 years to 16 years and 6 months, and they can appeal. After the case was appealed, the court ruled on April 30 this year that some of the co-defendants should revoke their sentences. However, part of Li Zhenhao's appeal was rejected and he was still sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Recently, after reviewing relevant information on the case, the media found that after Li Zhenhao was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2023, was additionally prosecuted by the prosecutor on November 30 of that year. The local court once again sentenced him to 18 years in prison, with a total of A total of 36 years. The actual execution of the sentence will be determined by the judge.
The verdict shows that a human trafficking organization composed of nine people including Li Zhenhao trafficked victims to Cambodia as "piglets" at a price of US$17,000 to US$18,000 per person. This human trafficking organization has a strict organizational structure. The members of the organization will first place the lured victims in a hotel. 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 detained in two separate 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 gaming 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. If they do not comply or perform poorly, they will be beaten, shocked and tortured.
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.
In the end, Li Zhenhao was sentenced twice and was sentenced to a total of 36 years in prison.
