Angola Deports China ‘Gangsters’

Angola has extradited 37 Chinese nationals, accused of extortion, kidnappings, armed robberies and running prostitution rings.

They allegedly targeted other Chinese, kidnapping businessmen for ransom and sometimes burying victims alive.

They lured women to Angola, promising well-paid jobs, but then forced them into prostitution, Chinese police said.

Tens of thousands of Chinese live in Angola, and Chinese state-run firms have large interests in the country.

China’s Ministry of Public Security said a special police team was sent to Angola in July to help investigate criminal gangs.

The ministry said the officers had helped their Angolan counterparts break up 12 gangs and free 14 victims, most of whom were thought to be women forced to work as prostitutes.

The 37 suspects arrived at Beijing airport in handcuffs with balaclavas covering their faces. They are due to be tried in China.

Mineral-rich Angola is China’s biggest trading partner in Africa, with some $24.8bn (£15.7bn) in 2010.

BUT WHY IS AFRICA ALLOWING CHINESE MAFIA TO BLOSOM? WHEREARE THE ANGOLAN AND ALSO ZAMBIAN AUTHORITIES WHEN SUCH THINGS ARE BEING COMMITTED. WHEN A CHINESE IS KILLED, THE GOVT., START APPOLOGISIZING. KILL CHINESE THAT MESS WITH OUR LADIES. LADIES AS WELL MUST BE ASHAMED TO INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN SUCH MISCHIEFS.

I SUSPECT THERE ARE MORE SUCH CHINESE GANGS IN ZED THAN THEY ARE IN ANGOLA, AND THE WORST PART OF IT IS THAT NONE OF THEIR VICTIMS ARE CHINESE WOMEN, BUT ALL ZAMBIANS… CHASE THEM CRAZY BALD HEADS OUT OF OUR TOWNS!!!
