Cambodian authorities have detained 1,100 Indonesian nationals following a large-scale raid on suspected online scam compounds in Phnom Penh.
The operation, reported by CNBC Indonesia, targeted facilities linked to elaborate digital fraud networks that have ensnared thousands of foreign workers in recent months.
The Indonesian embassy in Phnom Penh has initiated consular assistance and evacuation procedures for the detained citizens.
The scale of the detention underscores the severity of the human trafficking and cybercrime crisis in the region, where victims are often coerced into working in illegal call centers and fraud operations.
This development follows a broader international crackdown on cybercrime.
Interpol recently announced the arrest of nearly 6,000 suspects across 97 countries in a coordinated operation targeting global fraud networks.
