Reports say that Hun Manet has personally visited the front lines to supervise operations. He will conduct direct inspections of local efforts to combat telecom fraud. Local governments are not allowed to conceal, tolerate, or cover up crimes related to telecom fraud. Those who fail to fulfill their duties will be held accountable according to the law. The Cambodian government will adopt more stringent measures to continuously crack down on telecom fraud crimes, promote enhanced law enforcement in various regions, and resolutely eliminate breeding grounds for telecom fraud and criminal activities.
The Secretariat of the Cambodian National Committee against Online Fraud said that Hun Manai focused on inspecting the Seven Stars Sea Development Zone and other key areas in Krong Province that were used by criminal groups for cross-border fraud activities.
Qixinghai Development Zone is located in the coastal area of Kampong Chnam, far from major cities. The development area includes vast forests and coastlines. This zone is leased to the Cambodian government by foreign companies for the development of tens of thousands of hectares of economic land, with the companies responsible for the management and operation of the development zone.
The Secretariat stated that the fraud-related areas and hideouts in those locations have been investigated, the related technical equipment has been seized, the relevant premises have been closed, and the process of confiscating assets has been carried out in accordance with the law. Local authorities are currently strengthening supervision to prevent the resurgence of fraud activities.
