In a significant legal development, Thailand’s appeals court has greenlit the extradition of She Zhijiang, a Chinese national accused of orchestrating one of the largest transnational cybercrime networks in Asia. The ruling, issued on Monday, mandates that She be transferred to China within 90 days. She, who was arrested in Bangkok in August 2022 on a 2014 warrant from Chinese authorities, faces allegations of operating over 200 illegal online gambling platforms and being linked to illicit gambling networks and casinos in Myanmar. His legal team’s challenge to the constitutionality of Thailand’s extradition law was dismissed last month, paving the way for this decision. She’s prominence in the region stems from his involvement in the Yatai New City project in Myanmar’s Shwe Kokko city, a hub notorious for cyber scams and human trafficking. A 2024 UN report highlighted his extensive business portfolio across Southeast Asia, spanning real estate, construction, entertainment, and blockchain technology. The U.S. and British governments have also imposed sanctions on She for his alleged criminal activities. This case underscores the growing challenge of cybercrime in Southeast Asia, where weak law enforcement has allowed such operations to thrive, particularly in Cambodia and Myanmar.
