Hong Kong's "thief king" Ji Bingxiong, who was involved in multiple armed robberies and gun wounds to police officers in the 1990s, will be released from prison on January 18 after serving a 17-year sentence. According to Hong Kong media reports, Ji Bingxiong only holds a valid US passport, so law enforcement officers will escort him out of Hong Kong for the United States in the near future.

Hong Kong media reported that Ji Bingxiong had been serving a sentence in Stanley Prison in Hong Kong until now. Hong Kong's Sing Tao Daily reported that in the former "three thief kings", Zhang Ziqiang was shot as early as the mainland, and Ye Jihuan died of illness in 2017, leaving only the "new thief king" Ji Bingxiong.
Ji Bingxiong, who has planned many large-scale robberies, together with Ye Jihuan, the "king of thieves" who used AK-47 rifles to rob, and Zhang Ziqiang, who kidnapped Li Zeju, the eldest son of Li Ka-shing, are collectively known as the "three thieves kings" in Hong Kong. Ji Bingxiong, the former "King of Thieves", will turn 60 in March 2020.
Since the 1980s, Ji Bingxiong has committed frequent crimes related to a number of robberies by watch houses and gold banks in Hong Kong, involving nearly HK$25 million, and was once the most wanted criminal in the Hong Kong police. The movie "Tree Trick" is a film based on Ji Bingxiong, and won a lot of awards at the Hong Kong Academy Awards and other important film awards that year.
In that year, Ji Bingxiong organized gangs in Hong Kong, smuggled armaments, shot policemen, headshot civilians... The scene of his fierce firefight with the police in Tsim Sha Tsui is simply a divine restoration of a Hong Kong gunfight film.
In May 1985, Ji Bingxiong and others looted the Talon Road Faithful Watch Shop in Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, robbing 1.8 million yuan of belongings, and when they fled, they broke out in a street shootout with the round-up police officers, resulting in 11 injuries. In 1994, Ji Bingxiong's gang snatched 10 million yuan of belongings from the Golden Wheel Watch Office in Central, Central, and when they fled to the Central Subway Station, they exchanged fire with the police, resulting in one passerby being killed by a stray bullet and injuring six others.
In 2001, Ji Bingxiong's gang planned to rob the Mong Kok Founding Centre Xiyun Jia Watch Shop, snatching a watch worth about 2.85 million yuan, and its successive crimes led the Hong Kong police to issue a record-breaking reward order of 2 million yuan and issue a "Red Notice" through Interpol. After that, Ji Bingxiong disappeared for a while and went to Southeast Asia to avoid pursuit.

Hong Kong media said that on Christmas Eve of December 24, 2003, the Hong Kong police dispatched dozens of Flying Tigers personnel to break into a house on Man Ying Street in Jordan and successfully arrested Ji Bingxiong, who had secretly returned to Hong Kong. In 2005, Ji Bingxiong was convicted of possession of arms, possession of explosives, and gun pulling out to resist arrest, and was held in heavy prison for a total of 24 years.
Ji Bingxiong was arrested in 2003 and sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2005, and is expected to regain his freedom on January 18, 2020 after deducting his leave and commuting his sentence for his good performance in the later period.
"Sing Tao Daily" said that Ji Bingxiong will leave the prison in accordance with the normal procedures of the Correctional Services Department on the 18th and be sent to the airport, where the police Flying Tigers will be on guard from the side, and after arriving at the airport, he will be arranged to fly to the United States with a valid US passport.
