Working with Shandong police, Jiangsu police immediately set up a special team, and one week later they detained him and other suspects in Shandong province, the Jiangsu border control department said.

According to South Korean police, Yeom Deok-sung was a member of South Korean triad gang. Between November 2010 and May, he allegedly opened gambling websites with gang members and attacked their competitors.
