The atmosphere inside the Ministry of Interior meeting room this morning was all business. Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Sokha led a high-level meeting with National Police Commissioner General Sar Thet, General Department of Immigration Director-General Sok Veasna, and other key officials to crack down on foreign nationals involved in online scam networks who are still hiding out in the country.
The meeting focused on rounding up and deporting the remaining foreign scammers who have been keeping a low profile following recent police raids. Officials reviewed a new set of enforcement guidelines covering everything from legal procedures to final deportation flights. The core objective is clear: speed up the repatriation process and leave no loose ends.
With local authorities stepping up neighborhood inspections and rental checks in recent weeks, media reports highlight that these online scam operations are running out of hiding spots while causing headaches for local security. The Ministry of Interior is taking a firm stance, signaling a serious push to clear these networks out of the country for good.
