Ex-China ‘most beautiful fugitive’ banned for promoting legal education via live-streams
Former member of gang involved in US$190,000 fraud racket claimed to have ‘turned over a new leaf’ after release from prison
A woman dubbed the “most beautiful fugitive” in China has been banned online for promoting anti-fraud education via live-streams following her release from prison.
Qing Chenjingliang, 26, from Mianyang in Sichuan province, southwestern China, was expelled from secondary school as a teen for poor grades.
Influenced by her boyfriend, she later joined a 10-person fraud ring.
Posing as bar staff, the group lured victims online with fake romantic approaches or friendly intentions and forced them into expensive spending, using threats or violence if they refused to pay.
In November 2018, police issued wanted posters for Qing and her accomplices.
Her striking looks quickly drew nationwide attention and earned her the nickname “China’s most beautiful fugitive.”
