Across Southeast Asia, organised criminal gangs have used casinos, hotels and fortified compounds as bases to carry out sophisticated online scams, defrauding people around the world through fake romantic relationships and cryptocurrency investment schemes, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. Cambodia hosts dozens of scam centres with tens of thousands of people perpetrating online scams, some willingly and others trafficked, rights monitors say. The US Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network designated Huione Group a “primary money-laundering concern” in May, saying that it had facilitated more than US$4 billion in illegal transactions between August 2021 and January 2025. — AFP
