Koh Kong customs official accused of million‑dollar corruption, online scam connections
A senior customs official in Koh Kong province is arrested on multiple corruption allegations linked to online scam operations.
The Anti‑Corruption Unit of Cambodia has arrested the deputy chief of the Koh Kong Provincial Branch of Customs and Excise, accusing him of orchestrating a wide‑ranging corruption scheme. Authorities allege that he extorted money from truck drivers on highways, accepted bribes from organized online scam operations, and paid journalists to suppress related stories. The scale of alleged graft spans several million dollars and points to systemic collusion between elements of the customs administration and large‑scale criminal networks in the region.
