Cambodian and Thai authorities have conducted training in skills to intervene and rescue Thai workers who have been deceived into working in online casinos in Preah Sihanouk province. Thai authorities have increasingly sought cooperation with Cambodian counterparts as more and more Thai workers are tricked into working in online casinos.

 

National Police spokesman Lieutenant General Chhay Kim Khoeun said yesterday that “we have cooperated with Thai counterparts to conduct training on how to urgently intervene and rescue any workers who were cheated and forced to work in online casinos.” “A second round of training was conducted last month and there is a plan for further training in the near future, but we haven’t set a date,” said Lt Gen Kim Khoeun.

 

Meanwhile, Interior Ministry’s Cybercrime Department Director Lieutenant General Dy Vichea said, “We are ready to have further cooperation with Thai police to conduct urgent intervention for any Thais caught up in online casino scams.”
