PHNOM PENH, Cambodia—Authorities in Cambodia’s capital have conducted a significant, coordinated operation against international online fraud, resulting in the arrest of 111 suspects, including 106 Indonesian nationals.
The primary crackdown took place on October 31 in Phnom Penh’s Khan Tuol Kork. A joint task force, working alongside the Deputy Prosecutor, raided a rental building suspected of operating as a scam centre. The successful operation led to the immediate detention of 106 Indonesian nationals (36 of whom were women) and five Cambodian men.
Investigators seized crucial evidence from the scene, including various communication equipment and two vehicles. All detainees and collected evidence have since been transferred to the Phnom Penh Municipal Police Commissariat for formal legal proceedings.
In a related enforcement action on the same day, a separate team, in collaboration with the Committee for Combating Technology Crimes (CCTC), inspected a second suspicious location at the IOS Tower in Sangkat Boeung Keng Kang III.
Authorities used the announcement to reaffirm the government’s commitment to its ongoing nationwide campaign against technology-related fraud. They stated that law enforcement forces will pursue strict legal action against all individuals and networks involved in online scams without exception.
