Story summary
  • Cambodia aims to eradicate online scam centers by the end of April, with Senior Minister Chhay Sinarith reporting 200 of 250 locations shut.
  • The government has initiated 79 legal cases against 697 alleged ringleaders and repatriated nearly 10,000 workers.
  • Experts remain skeptical the crackdown will succeed, noting earlier efforts failed to dismantle networks and an exodus follows due to international pressure and the extradition of a key figure to China.
