As we mentioned there, 32 of the 97 suspects repatriated to the Mainland are from Taiwan. They are likely to be involved in further investigations and a trial on the Mainland in the near future. But what do we know about telecom fraud in Taiwan? Some of the perpetrators admit they've been involved in it for a long time, and the inefficiency of the correctional system there means that it's worth the risk to continue.

46-year-old Lin is from Tai Chung in Taiwan. He set up a telecom fraud center in Kenya at the beginning of this year. He and his colleagues pretended to be personnel from the legal system, and carried out illicit activities against Chinese Mainland residents...

"People on line 1 pretend to be Shunfeng Express, Line 2, police and line 3, procuratorate," Lin said.

Lin was apprehended for telecom fraud in 2011. Undeterred after six months in prison, he returned to his old ways after release. He spent some time in Indonesia. In January of this year, he recruited about 40 people for an operation in Kenya. He admitted that many of his team had prior experience.

Another suspect called Xu -- also from Tai Chung and also a habitual criminal -- was sentenced to seven months in 2010. He says he wants to be tried in Taiwan, where any sentence would be relatively lighter than on the Mainland.

Experts say in Taiwan, the highest penalty for such a crime is just five years, but on the mainland, it can be life in prison.

Mainland police say they once arrested a suspect here, before sending him to Taiwan. Three months later, they caught him again in the Philippines.

However, it seems these days are over. The suspects in this case will be tried in a court on the Chinese mainland after a full investigation, with no potential loopholes.

Some of them are now revealing their regret.

27-year-old Liu Tai-ting was one of the suspects deported from Kenya to the Mainland on April 13th. He confessed to police that he went there explicitly to conduct telecom fraud.

He said he sent more than 10-thousand illicit messages per day, earning more than 240-thousand Taiwan dollars -- or nearly 75-hundred US dollars -- in the process. He said he lied to his mother about the reason for his sudden departure to Africa.....and she never knew the truth until the case was exposed.
