Chinese Mafia Trials

[Guest Tony n Terrific]

So far six people have been sentenced to death in the cases.

 

On Tuesday, a Chongqing court sentenced the "godmother" of a crime gang to 18 years in jail for running at least 20 illegal gambling dens in hotels, nightclubs and tea houses.

 

Xie Caiping, 46, was also convicted of illegal drug activity, and bribing police to turn a blind eye to her crimes, earlier press reports said.

 

Xie reportedly drove a Mercedes-Benz, owned several luxury villas and kept a stable of 16 young men to provide her with sexual services.

 

She is the sister-in-law of the former head of Chongqing's judiciary, Wen Qiang, who is at the centre of the crackdown that has led to the arrest of more than 1,500 suspects.

 

Wen is accused of protecting an intricate web of businessmen, officials and mobsters.
