Chinese prosecutors add intentional injury charge to case against alleged scam kingpin Chen Zhi

Chinese authorities have expanded the indictment against Chen Zhi, the former head of Cambodia's Prince Group, to include intentional injury, a charge that carries potential capital punishment. The case highlights Beijing's ongoing crackdown on transnational cyber-scam syndicates operating out of Southeast Asia. It remains unclear if the shift in charges reflects new evidence or a strategic adjustment in the prosecution's legal approach.
