Chinese IT Worker Victim of Kandal Kidnap

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Geez, what is it with the proliferation of these Chinese kidnappings? :facepalm:

I gather they are mainly: go to casino>lose money>borrow money from loan shark>go to casino again>lose money>loan shark wants money>cannot pay>kidnapped>extort money from family to repay

What else? Drugs?

Kidnap em, confiscate their passports, and enslave them in sweatshops to work programming gambling apps under threat of death? Or stun gun assaults if they make any mistakes. Or so the rumours go.

^^^Scary story. I imagined it would be tough to work for a Chinese company in any capacity but I hadn't imagined how ruthless the Chinese criminal gangs were. A life is made to be used and discarded as needed.

It was posted by another member last week, but seems to have been largely overlooked. Worth the read.
