On November 6, individuals involved in gambling fraud at Phnom Penh's Zone 2 were apprehended and began to be deported back to their home country, with the first group landing at Taiyuan Airport.
Approximately 600 people in total are being deported over three days, November 27, 28, and 29, in three batches via chartered flights.
Eight property management staff were sent to prison, while two individuals who were about to open a store were released.
Media reports indicate that among those arrested at Zone 2, 12 were Chinese nationals detained by Cambodian police, including 10 from mainland China and 2 from Taiwan.
The two Taiwanese had already been deported, and among the ten mainland Chinese, eight property management staff, including seven men and one woman, were sent to prison to await court proceedings.
The other two were planning to visit the zone to open a store. "They had just arranged to visit the store, unaware of the arrests happening inside. They even knocked on the door to enter," and were subsequently arrested as well.
After thorough investigations, including reviewing the chat records on their phones, the police confirmed the identities of the two individuals and released them.
