Polri has successfully repatriated nine Indonesian citizens (WNI) who were victims of human trafficking (TPPO) through online scams from Cambodia on December 26, 2025. The victims were initially lured with promises of computer operator jobs but forced into online scamming. They escaped and sought help from the Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh after enduring physical and psychological violence.
Cambodian police raided an online fraud compound in Bavet, detaining more than 2,000 foreigners, including nearly 1,800 from mainland China. The operation highlights the Cambodian government's resolve to crack down on online scammers.

Dozens of Kenyans are stranded in Cambodia after escaping labour exploitation camps, facing threats of re-trafficking and arrest by local authorities. At least 100 Kenyans are affected, left without travel documents or financial support. The Kenyan Embassy there has acknowledged the issue and is attempting assistance, though progress has been slow.
Federal prosecutors have charged Chen Zhi, chairman of Cambodia's Prince Holding Group, with wire fraud and money laundering in a global cryptocurrency scam that exploited forced labor.
