UK and US impose sanctions on alleged leaders of Cambodia scam centres

Two Chinese-born businessmen among six people hit by travel bans and property freezes

The UK and US have imposed sanctions and frozen London properties owned by the alleged leaders of scam centres in Cambodia that trick victims around the world and torture their trafficked workers.

Two Chinese-born businessmen are among the six people hit by travel bans and sanctions that aim to tackle the growing threat of organised crime gangs carrying out online fraud across the world on an industrial scale.
