BEIJING - China's national office against organised crime said that special inspection teams have been sent to 10 provincial-level areas to oversee crackdown operations against gangs and organised crime.

During their one-week inspection tour, the accredited inspectors, selected from in-service and retired officials in political and legal affairs departments as well as experts in political and legal practice, will conduct precise supervision over the fight against organised crime, focusing on major cases and prominent problems in key areas, according to the office.

The inspection teams will give priority to uncovering financial assets and other property illegally obtained by gangs involved in organised crime while targeting key industries such as finance, transportation, housing and construction, and mineral resources.

China launched a national campaign against organised crime and officials who shelter criminal organisations at the beginning of 2018. Three rounds of related inspections have been conducted so far.

The 10 provincial-level regions from the latest tour including Hebei, Shanxi, Liaoning and Fujian were targets of the first round of inspections.
