A Cambodian boxing coach is among a group of Cambodians and Chinese facing charges from the covert raid of Sihanoukville’s Jin Gang casino in April, from which more than 200 Vietnamese nationals were released.

 

Chin Pea Rieng, a former kun khmer boxer also known as Chin Ra, was named among five people who were arrested and soon to be tried in connection to an operation involving arrests and rescues at Jin Gang casino in Sihanoukville’s Buon commune in April. 

 

Videos from Vietnamese users on TikTok suggest that the April raid was a rescue operation at an online scam compound, where foreigners are detained and subjected to extensive hours of work and sometimes physical punishment and torture. Provincial court spokesperson Ly Chandara told VOD on Monday that the five were charged with possession of illegal weapons and illegal detention and confinement, and they would be tried soon, though he didn’t specify a date.
