25 Japanese Phone Fraud Suspects Extradited from Cambodia, Headed for Japan

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News: On the afternoon of November 8, 2023, the General Commission of the National Police and the General Department of Immigration, in collaboration with the Japanese National Police Agency, sent 25 Japanese suspects and related evidence from Cambodia back to Japan. The Japanese authorities dispatched aircraft and troops to facilitate the operation, with local police forces accompanying the suspects during the sentencing procedures.

These suspects had been apprehended on September 11, 2023, in Sangkat Chroy Changvar, Khan Chroy Changvar, Phnom Penh. Their arrest was made in connection with fraudulent activities involving mobile phone scams that targeted victims in Japan.

Seizing this opportunity, Cambodian police authorities issued a warning and reminder to property owners and those who rent out their spaces that it is crucial to exercise caution when renting to foreigners and to inquire about the purpose of their rental and thoroughly examine their details. This vigilance will help prevent the use of rented locations for criminal activities and deter the facilitation of offenders through these properties.

You know they were probably trafficked, right? Cambodia likes to say everyone working on these fraud buildings is a suspect instead of a victim so they don't look so bad when they all get deported. Also helps them try and get some money out of them for overstay/no valid work permit even though they were trafficked to Cambodia.

Japan sent troops too. They must want them back badly since September.

Or they are truly are criminals who are flight risks.

Haha, I was thinking "Squid Game" but that looks pretty spot on.
