Beijing police raided and shut down more than 10 underground banks that were involved in 140 billion yuan ($23 billion) of transactions over the past few years.

北京警方出击捣毁10余个地下钱庄，涉案金额在过去几年内达到了1400亿元（230亿美元）。

The banks were raided on Sept. 18, with 59 people arrested and 264 bank accounts frozen, Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said in a statement on its official microblog today.

北京市公安局在官方微博发布消息称，警察在9月18日当天捉获了59名涉案人员，冻结了264个涉案银行账户。

The investigation started in February when Beijing police found that a man with surname Yao had transferred more than $5 million abroad in a year, according to the statement. Yao, who had a number of bank accounts, frequently bought $50,000 of foreign exchange, the police said. That’s the most overseas currency that a Chinese citizen can buy annually.

据北京市公安局称，警方在一次办案过程中发现姚某在一年多时间里兑换并汇至境外500余万美元。中国公民购买美元外汇每年不能超过5万美元。姚某长期利用银行账户购买5万美元外汇。

The underground banks, most of which are family-run and operating out of homes, use online and mobile payment devices to buy or sell foreign exchange and illegally transfer funds abroad, according to the statement. Beijing police said they would continue to crackdown on crimes that threaten China’s economic and financial security.

这些地下钱庄大多由家族经营和管理，利用网上支付、手机支付等支付手段购买外汇并非法转移境外。北京市警方称，他们将继续打击经济类犯罪，保护国内经济和金融安全。
