Cooperation with Cambodian cops sees raids across country which nets 94 Thai suspects

Cambodian authorities have deported 94 Thais who worked or conspired with call centre gangs in Phnom Penh back to Thailand to face justice, say police. Following a joint operation by the Police Cyber Taskforce (PCT) and Cambodian authorities to track down call centre gangs, 94 Thais were rounded up and deported from the Cambodian capital to Aranyaprathet district in Sa Kaeo yesterday.

The group had all worked at the call centre in Phnom Penh with 74 of them facing arrest warrants issued by the PCT. All had been charged under various Cambodian laws before being deported to face further charges at home. Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas, deputy national police chief and director of the PCT, had assigned PCT officers, immigration police and provincial police region 2 to receive the 94 deportees at the border district.

According to the police, the group was associated with four call centre gangs and some of the deportees are top members working for Taiwanese kingpins. The PCT said the police will look into the case and file legal action where appropriate. The statement added that the Thai accomplices will be sent to the local police stations that issued the arrest warrants in Tha Mai and Muang Chanthaburi in Chanthaburi province, as well as Phahon Yothin and Bang Khen stations in Bangkok.
