Accused scam boss Chen Zhi extradited to China from Cambodia

Accused scam boss Chen Zhi has been extradited to China from Cambodia, Beijing confirmed on Thursday, after he was indicted by the United States over alleged multibillion-dollar fraud.

Video released by China's Ministry of Public Security on Thursday showed Chen in handcuffs as security forces lifted a black bag off his head, after he was escorted off a China Southern plane with black-clad armed guards waiting on a runway.

China's public security ministry said Chen had been brought back to China from Phnom Penh and lauded the "major achievement in China–Cambodia law enforcement cooperation".
