"Recently, public security organs took criminal compulsory measures against Du and other suspected criminals at Evergrande Financial Wealth Management Co," Shenzhen Nanshan District Police Bureau said on Saturday.
No further details were given on how many people were detained, their identities — except for the person identified only as Du — or what charges they could face.
