The city police on Monday raided 11 illegal internet gambling dens and illegal lotteries organised by the ring, arresting seven and seizing more than VNĐ5 billion (US$220,000) in cash and various exhibits.
The ring was headed by Trần Văn Mười Hai, born in 1975 and residing in HCM City, and a Chinese man. The duo had organised cock fights, illegal lotteries and high-stakes internet gambling, worth over a trillion đồng (millions of US dollars).
Hai co-operated with Chinese-Malaysian gamblers to release fake gambling results, causing several fights with other gangs.
The police are now expanding the investigation.
