Thousands of suspects have been apprehended, and critical evidence has been confiscated in the nationwide crackdown, initiated under the directive of Prime Minister Hun Manet.
Yet, the identities of the ringleaders orchestrating these scams remain elusive, prompting ongoing investigations.
As law enforcement ramps up efforts against online fraud, Preah Sihanouk, a province notorious for such fraudulent activities, has emerged as a focal point, revealing a complex web of criminal activity.
Deputy Preah Sihanouk Governor Long Dimanche said yesterday that between last year and July, authorities identified 25 suspected online scam compounds in the province.
Of the 3,215 individuals involved, more than 2,400 were foreign nationals and approximately 800 were Cambodian.
Notably, 799 Cambodians were found to be victims rather than perpetrators, two Cambodians and two foreigners are still under investigation to determine their roles.
The crackdown has revealed that 37 foreign nationals are believed to be ringleaders, including 28 Chinese, five Taiwanese, three Vietnamese, and one Indonesian. Their cases are set to be forwarded to the courts for prosecution.
In a contrasting outcome, 324 foreigners have been deemed innocent and are allowed to remain in the Kingdom. Conversely, 2,024 foreign nationals, including 1,049 Chinese, 16 Taiwanese, 450 Vietnamese, and others, will face deportation.
Dimanche reported that 59 Vietnamese nationals with evidence against them are currently being questioned by police as part of the ongoing legal procedures.
As investigations continue, Cambodian authorities remain committed to dismantling these online scam networks and ensuring justice for those affected by this pervasive issue.
The extensive crackdown, conducted over several consecutive weeks are aimed at dismantling suspected scam compounds and digital fraud networks, many of which are believed to be connected to transnational criminal organisations.
In an interview with Khmer Times, Ministry of Interior spokesman Touch Sokhak acknowledged the challenges in identifying the masterminds behind online scam operations.
He noted that a significant obstacle is the deceptive tactics employed by these criminals, who often operate under the guise of legitimate businesses, such as investment firms or technology companies, complicating immediate recognition as cybercriminals.
Despite these hurdles, in late July, authorities brought 11 ringleaders to court, with eight placed in pre-trial detention.
Cambodia has gained international attention in recent years due to the rising prevalence of cybercrime hubs and trafficking-related scam centres across the nation. In response, the government has committed to reforming its image and restoring public trust, both domestically and on the global stage.
