绝对逃不出去。
2015年8月9日,凌晨5点,一名受害人成功逃出,向两名下班开车路过的女性求救。
这名受害者名叫戴友庭(YouTing Dai,音译),当时求救称钱包,手机,身份证以及
护照都被拿走,另外还有房子里还有20人被关押。
戴友庭表示他曾要求离开,被掌管奴隶屋的两名“干部”黄宇豪(Yu-Hao Huang,音译
)以及陈博舜(Bo-Syun Chen,音译)拒绝,还惩罚他罚站5个小时。
戴友庭逃出后,警方在2个小时内包围了这栋位于Beelarong大街的小楼。小楼价值300
万澳元。
警方在这栋物业内救出23名受害者。
之后,警方又在南布里斯班Dorchester大街发生了另外一栋奴隶屋,救出35名中国台湾
人。
检察官表示这两个奴隶屋是由一个“台湾传统犯罪组织”经营。
黄宇豪以及陈博舜目前仍被关押,受到多项指控。
此外,案件还有其他犯罪嫌疑人。
受害者表示戴友庭成功逃走后,他们就被威胁称不得乱说,诈骗活动也停止了。
台湾警方表示一名匿名人士,还联系了某位关键证人,威胁他修改证词。据澳洲联邦警
察认为,这名匿名人士应该是犯罪组织成员。 | c****x 发帖数: 6601 | 2 http://www.xkb.com.au/html/news/shehui/2016/0417/168475.html

On August 9, about 5am, he made a break for it, flagging down two women
driving home from work.
"Help, help help," a frantic YouTing Dai said.
"Wallet, phone, ID, passport, taken. Share house. Other people, about 20 of
me. Locked doors, run away."
Mr Dai told police he'd asked to leave the house before but the socalled "
cadres" allegedly running the operation, Yu-Hao Huang and Bo-Syun Chen,
refused, abused him and made him stand in the middle of the room for five
hours.
Within two hours police were at the Beelarong Street property, a $3 million
700-square metre colossus, dubbed "the largest known house in Morningside".
The marble-walled bathrooms and polished timber floors, with a suspended
pool and tennis court in the sprawling grounds, belied the alleged existence
of a slave-run scam operation inside.
According to federal police, the alleged slaves were operating a "post
office and police station scam", to swindle mainland Chinese.
People contacting the "post office" would allegedly be told there was a
package waiting.
When the confused caller said they weren't expecting a package, the
residents would allegedly tell them they were victims of "money washing" and
take details and account balances.
A "police officer" in another room would then allegedly tell the victims
they were actually suspects and extort a fine out of them, swindling them
out of their entire savings.
Investigators allegedly found workers hidden behind locked doors, eventually
discovering 23 people had been crammed into three upstairs bedrooms, while
Mr Huang lived in a downstairs room with their passports and mobile phones.
They subsequently discovered another alleged slave house in Dorchester
Street, South Brisbane, with another 35 Taiwanese inside.
Some victims told police they'd been threatened after speaking about their
time in the houses and one radically changed her testimony.
Prosecutors alleged the operation was run by a "transnational Taiwanese
organised crime syndicate".
Yu-Hao Huang and Bo-Syun Chen remain on remand on charges of conducting a
business involving servitude.
But they couldn't run the whole scam on their own, prosecutors alleged,
namingWu-nan "William" Chen as a driver for the group and Sheng-Jiun "Katsu"
Huang as an associate who helped out the "bosses".
Sheng-Jiun "Katsu" Huang, a successful sushi chef at Hamilton's highend Sono
Japanese restaurant was charged, accused of having a role in organising the
lease for the similarly high-end South Brisbane home and providing support
to an organisation to conduct an offence.
It was his bail application, rejected by Justice Jean Dalton on March 23
that revealed the shocking alleged details of the slave operation.
Prosecutors alleged the 28-yearold supplemented his $18 an hour income with
more than $300,000 from the syndicate but his lawyers argued he had no idea
the house would be used for crime.
Wu-nan "William" Chen, whose alleged role in the scam was to pick up the
Taiwanese workers from Brisbane Airport and drop them at one of the two
houses, had bail refused in November.
His lawyers argued the case against him was "by no means overwhelming".
"There would appear to be a reasonable case that a 'scam' was being
conducted from the premises," they submitted to the Supreme Court.
"Whether it amounted to keeping the call-centre workers in 'servitude' is
less clear."
Slave house residents told police they'd been threatened since Mr Dai made
his escape and the operations were shut down in August.
An unknown person, who AFP officers believed to be part of the syndicate,
contacted a key Crown witness and threatened him to withdraw his testimony,
Taiwanese police told the AFP.
Another two men, one believed to be a relative of Mr Dai, were refused entry
to Australia in October because police feared they had come to intimidate
witnesses.
As four men await further hearings in custody and dozens of Taiwanese try to
get their lives back together, both houses are back on the market. |
