Cambodian Illegal Gambling, Phone Scam Ring Busted, 66 Thai Rescued

Thai and Cambodian police joined forces this week to break up another illegal gambling and phone scam ring. In the process, they freed 66 Thai nationals forced to work for the organized crime group.

There has been an increase in police actions in Cambodia over the past few months. The emphasis follows an outcry from the global community, with police liberating hundreds of kidnapped individuals forced to live and work in slave-like conditions.

Police from Cambodia, together with Thai law enforcement, have now rescued another 66 Thai nationals, according to Reuters. They took down another faction leading an underground operation conducting illegal online gambling and phone scams. The faction has alleged ties to a larger Chinese-run organized crime group. This may signal that more of the criminals will soon fall.
