Cambodian lawmakers unanimously pass a new law; fraud-ring operators could face up to 5 years in prison

Gate News update, April 4. Recently, the Cambodian parliament passed a new bill unanimously with 58 votes in favor, officially criminalizing the operation of scam-hub criminal activities. Under the bill, those involved will face imprisonment of 2 to 5 years and a fine of up to $125k; if the case involves organized crime or multiple victims, the penalties will double. The bill is currently pending the King’s signature before it officially takes effect. Against this backdrop of the legislation, the United Kingdom has already imposed sanctions on operators of scam networks in Cambodia, and Cambodia has also extradited a leader of an alleged criminal group to China.
