The scene of Chen Zhi being escorted back to the country has been exposed, and the public security authorities will soon publicly announce a wanted notice for the key members of the criminal group

The scene of Chen Zhi, the leader of the Prince Group, being escorted back to China has been exposed. On January 7, the Ministry of Public Security of China dispatched a working group and successfully escorted Chen Zhi (a Chinese national), the head of a major cross-border gambling and fraud crime group, back to the country from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

According to investigations, Chen Zhi's criminal group is suspected of multiple crimes including operating casinos, fraud, illegal business operations, and concealing criminal proceeds. Currently, Chen Zhi has been subjected to compulsory measures in accordance with the law, and related cases are under further investigation. A relevant official from the Ministry of Public Security of China stated that the public security organs will soon publicly announce the first batch of key members of Chen Zhi's criminal group to resolutely capture the fugitives.

Chen Zhi, the founder of the Cambodian fraud crime group "Prince Group," was born on December 16, 1987, in Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, China. He dropped out of school after completing the second year of junior high and previously worked in internet-related jobs in China. In 2011, he went to Cambodia to invest in real estate, and in 2014, he obtained Cambodian nationality through investment immigration (later renouncing his Chinese nationality). In 2015, he founded Prince Holding Group (referred to as Prince Group), suspected of operating a large multinational fraud gang. In mid-October 2025, the United States and the United Kingdom announced lawsuits against Chen Zhi and confiscated approximately $15 billion worth of Bitcoin that he held.
