中共7月底宣布展开为期一年的「深化扫黑除恶专项斗争」[1]。约10天后，中国公安部指挥全国公安机关开展第一轮集中收网行动，共打掉各类犯罪团伙1000余个，抓获犯罪嫌疑人8200余名，破获各类刑事案件5400余起[1]。
此次行动聚焦新型黑恶犯罪开展集中打击[1]。各地成果显著，其中浙江打掉网络「套路贷」团伙109人，山东打掉交通敲诈团伙27人，河南打掉网店敲诈团伙41人，广东打掉建筑工地敲诈团伙8个共65人[1]。中共中央政法委书记陈文清强调按中共中央、国务院部署开展此项工作[1]。
China's Ministry of Public Security coordinated a nationwide crackdown operation that resulted in the dismantling of more than 1,000 criminal organizations and the arrest of over 8,200 suspects within approximately ten days [1]. The operation, which broke more than 5,400 criminal cases, was launched following the Communist Party's announcement in late July of a year-long "deepened campaign against organized and illegal criminal activities" [1].
The coordinated enforcement effort targeted various forms of emerging organized crime across multiple regions [1]. In Zhejiang, authorities dismantled a 109-member online loan fraud ring; in Shandong, police took down a 27-member extortion gang; in Henan, investigators arrested 41 individuals operating online shop extortion schemes; and in Guangdong, eight separate construction site extortion organizations comprising 65 people were broken up [1].
