   South Korean Citizens Repatriated from Cambodia for Online Scam Involvement

   South Korean authorities are seeking to arrest 58 individuals repatriated from Cambodia for alleged involvement in online scam operations. The 64 individuals were detained in Cambodia over several months and repatriated to South Korea. They are suspected of participating in various online fraud activities targeting South Korean citizens. The repatriated individuals were allegedly forced to work in scam centers under threat of violence. This development follows public calls for stronger action to protect South Koreans from being trafficked to overseas scam centers. A travel ban has been imposed on parts of Cambodia, and joint efforts with Cambodian authorities are underway.
