Beijing Police have arrested 150 people suspected of medical fraud.

Seven unqualified Chinese medical clinics were investigated in the case. The fraudsters lured patients to purchase cheap medicine at a high price at unqualified clinics, making huge profits for both the fraudsters and the clinics.

Most of the victims are non-local elderly people who have traveled to Beijing for treatment.

It is the largest medical fraud case on record in Beijing. Four hundred police were involved in arresting the fraudsters after an investigation lasting a month. The case is still being investigated.
