PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Authorities in Phnom Penh have arrested 49 foreign nationals in a major crackdown on an alleged online scam operation uncovered at a city hotel, in what officials say is part of a broader effort to dismantle transnational cybercrime networks.
The suspects were apprehended during a Sunday afternoon raid at the Jinbian Mendu Hotel in Sen Sok district, conducted by a joint security team under the Phnom Penh Administrative Unified Command.
The operation was ordered by Governor Khuong Sreng and led by Police Commissioner Chuon Narin, with legal oversight from Deputy Prosecutor Chhay Hong of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court.
