China cracked ten criminal networks that were selling fake tax
receipts and retrieved 868 million yuan, authorities said in
Beijing on Friday.
A campaign aimed at breaking up criminal gangs that forge tax
invoices kicked off in 2006 and under the code named Thunder
First.
According to the police, 1,374 enterprises were involved in the
crimes and 684 of them had been punished. Eighty-eight of 116
suspects have been arrested, according to the police.
