According to local media such as VN Express, Vietnamese police arrested 59 Vietnamese nationals by detecting an online fraudulent organization on the Cambodian border on the 29th. They are suspected of defrauding about 300 billion dong (about 16.2 billion won) from 8,000 victims across Vietnam by disguising them as courier drivers, police, soldiers, and businessmen.
Lai Zhiu Local Police, in cooperation with central police and prosecutors, raided a fraudulent organization base in Bokor Ecological Park in Bokor Hill, Kampot. Fifteen women were among those arrested, and they were found to have been systematically fraudulent over a long period of time in the area.
The primary investigation revealed that the organization's chief executive was a 26-year-old female gender named Timai (an alias 'Bi').
She allegedly led dozens of accomplices and used fake identities to call the victims and cheat them.
The operation is evaluated as the result of strong law enforcement cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia. In particular, the signing and timing of the recent UN Cybercrime Convention in Hanoi are drawing attention as more meaningful achievements.
The arrested suspects are undergoing repatriation to Vietnam through border checkpoints, and a full-scale investigation into the alleged large-scale online fraud will be carried out.
