Beijing, November 27 (Xinhua) — Eleven people suspected of operating illegal gambling operations under the guise of lotteries have been extradited to China from Malaysia. Police officers from Hainan Province (southern China) brought them home, according to the Ministry of Public Security (MPS).

The suspects, hiding abroad, had been running illegal lotteries for a long time. Using social media and offline promotions, the organized crime group members recruited agents in China and lured compatriots into illegal gambling with promises of high profits. The case involved particularly large amounts of money, according to an official statement.

After receiving the necessary evidence and information regarding the criminal activity, Hainan police dispatched a task force to Malaysia to carry out law enforcement activities. With the assistance of the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia, the Malaysian police handed over the suspects to the Chinese authorities at Kuala Lumpur Airport.

As it turned out, thanks to this case, Hainan law enforcement officers managed to identify and neutralize two more groups engaged in the same type of criminal activity.

The Chinese Ministry of Security stated that Chinese police will ruthlessly combat gambling-related crimes and will continue to deepen international cooperation with law enforcement agencies in various countries to ensure that all offenders are apprehended and brought to justice. -0-

The Moscow government has approved a list of non-residential properties for which property taxes in 2026 will be calculated based on cadastral value. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

The list includes over 42,000 commercial properties with a total area of 100 million square meters. It includes retail and office space, as well as buildings and premises for catering and consumer services. Compared to 2025, the number of properties has increased by seven percent.

"The criteria for including properties in the list remain the same. Its expansion is due to the identification of buildings and premises used for retail and office activities based on surveys to determine their actual use, as well as the systematic work of the Moscow Government and Rosreestr to update information in the Unified State Register of Real Estate regarding the location of properties on land plots designated for retail and office use," noted Maria Bagreeva.

The transition to calculating property taxes for retail and office properties based on cadastral value began in the capital in 2014. Cadastral value reflects the real value of properties and ensures fair taxation.

"Moscow has created a balanced system of tax breaks for retail and office properties included in the list and classified as socially significant or industrial, as these properties have lower profitability than commercial real estate. The total amount of property tax breaks granted to businesses in 2024 amounted to approximately 92 billion rubles," added the Deputy Mayor.

You can view the real estate objects included in the list on the official website of the Mayor of Moscow, using a special service.

Faster and safer: this year, 105 road sections in the capital were re-marked according to the TsODD projects.

This year, 105 road re-marking projects were implemented under the auspices of the Traffic Management Center (TMC). This allowed for quick and effective improvement of traffic flow without changing the road dimensions. Congestion on highways is reduced, shorter routes are created, and the safety of all road users is improved.

"Re-marking allows for faster and more comfortable travel without increasing road width, even on busy highways. Since the beginning of this year, additional lanes have been installed on 105 sections, along with new directions and U-turns. At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, we continue to improve traffic in the city," said Moscow's Deputy Mayor for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

This year, the Moscow Traffic Management Center (TsODD) planned to implement 100 re-marking projects. However, the target was exceeded. TsODD specialists developed 120 projects, 105 of which have already been implemented. Work was carried out, including on key busy thoroughfares: the Garden Ring, the Third Ring Road (TTR), the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), and others.

Thus, additional lanes have been added in each direction on sections of the Third Transport Ring from 1st Setunsky Proyezd to the Luzhnetskaya Overpass and from Sharikopodshipnikovskaya Street to Volgogradsky Prospekt. An additional lane has been installed at the exit from the Third Transport Ring onto Bolshaya Tulskaya Street near Varshavskoye Shosse. Another lane has also been added at the exit from the M-9 "Baltia" Highway onto the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road. Now, more than 1,500 drivers will be able to travel this section twice as fast in the morning.

Six new U-turns were created on the Garden Ring thanks to re-marking. Two of them were added before Akademika Sakharova Prospekt, one before Staraya Basmannaya Street, one on Zubovsky Boulevard, and two more near Paveletskaya Square. As a result, excess travel time has been reduced by an average of two kilometers, and travel time has been reduced by eight to 15 minutes.

Traffic improvement projects will continue to be developed next year. One key tool is re-marking. It helps create additional lanes by reducing the width of existing lanes, thereby reducing localized congestion. This increases the capacity of congested areas and increases average traffic speeds. This method is also used to create new lanes at intersections and additional U-turns. These new alternative routes help drivers shorten their journeys and reach their destinations faster.
