Nigerian-Cambodian Trio Arrested for Expired Visa Scam
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On September 14, 2021, the Phnom Penh city court issued temporary detention on a 38-year-old Nigerian man and 2 Cambodian women for intentional fraud.
According to the victim, the suspect had contacted his wife via WhatsApp in early 2020, asking her to transfer money from Canada via a bank transfer to Cambodia in order to help her husband. The scammer claimed that her husband, Chen Steven, had been arrested by the immigration police due to an expired visa and overstay, and that he required funds in order to be released.
One of the suspects, the Nigerian man's wife, confessed that the money had been transferred to her ABA bank account numerous times, and she then forwarded it to the other suspects by Wing.
After the interrogation, the suspect Nigerian-Cambodian couple also confessed that they have done multiple bank transactions which were unclear of origin.

Re: Nigerian-Cambodian Trio Arrested for Expired Visa Scam
If they've been tried in court, and found guilty, and later had their appeal denied, can the pixelation of their faces now be removed?

A bargirl told me there is a big shortage of qualified Pixel people in Cambodia to do the job of removals.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
