Seizures and warrants involve Chinese-Cambodian tycoon Chen Zhi, who heads US-sanctioned Prince Group, and Cambodians Kok An and Yim LeakParts of south-east Asia, including the border areas between Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia, have become hubs for online fraud, with criminal networks earning billions from illegal compounds where trafficking victims are often forced to work.
The seizures and warrants involve Chinese-Cambodian tycoon Chen Zhi, who heads the US-sanctioned Prince Group, and Cambodian nationals Kok An and Yim Leak, who authorities said were all linked to transnational online scam operations.
Prince Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Chen, who is also facing indictment by the US, could not be reached for comment. Last month, Prince Group denied the company or Chen were involved in any illegal activity.
Reuters was unable to contact Kok An, Yim Leak or their representatives and they have not publicly commented on the allegations.
