Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet says Cambodia will intensify its crackdown on transnational online scam networks as criminals adapt their operations. He warns that scam syndicates increasingly respond to law-enforcement pressure by breaking into smaller, decentralized cells across the region rather than operating as large, centralized groups.
Hun Manet says authorities have already shut down more than 670 illegal scam operations. He also describes expanding intelligence sharing with international law-enforcement partners, including through cooperation with the United States. The pledges follow his recent visit with FBI Director Kash Patel, according to one report.
Overall, the accounts describe a continuing effort by Cambodian authorities to disrupt scam activity, strengthen coordination with foreign agencies, and adjust enforcement strategies to address scammers’ shifting organizational structures. The statements frame the challenge as ongoing, with criminals modifying tactics in response to crackdowns.
