In a significant move, South Korean police are seeking to arrest 58 of the 64 nationals recently deported from Cambodia due to their alleged involvement in online scams, specifically the notorious 'pig butchering' schemes. These scams involve deceiving victims into fake romantic relationships and persuading them to invest in fraudulent cryptocurrency platforms. The South Korean government estimates that around 1,000 citizens are currently working in Cambodian scam centers, often lured by fake job offers and subsequently trafficked. The repatriated individuals were escorted off their flight in handcuffs, with one already arrested and five released. This crackdown follows a public outcry over the kidnapping of South Koreans, including a tragic incident involving a college student found dead after being allegedly tortured by a scam ring. In response, South Korea has implemented travel bans to certain areas in Cambodia and sent a delegation to address the issue, reflecting the urgency of tackling this growing international crime.
