More than 150 foreigners arrested yesterday as anti illegal gambling crackdown continues

As the mass swoop on illegal gathering – ordered by PM Hun Sen at the weekend – continues, police yesterday arrested more than 150 foreigners in a series of targeted raids throughout Cambodia. In Kandal province, Kong Sophoan, Governor of Kandal Province, led a team that raided a location in Sangkat Takdol, Takhmao City, Kandal Province on the night of September 20.

After inspecting the business location, 72 Chinese nationals – 16 of whom did not have valid documents – were detained. Mr. Nop Dara, Deputy Governor of Kandal Province, said that under the direct command of Mr. Kong Sophorn, the above location was temporarily closed and all professional officers and stakeholders followed the procedure.

He said he was not sure about the legal restrictions on the Chinese, as authorities were not yet working on the matter. In Koh Kong Province, more than 80 foreigners were arrested by police during a crackdown on suspected online gambling crimes at the Thantai Guesthouse in Village 3, Sangkat Smach Meanchey, Royal Khmer City, in the afternoon of September 21, 2022.
