Cambodia¡¯s arrest of alleged scam center kingpin Chen Zhi and his extradition to China was ¡°not the end¡± of the Southeast Asian nation¡¯s battle to stamp out transborder crimes, its foreign minister said.
Last week¡¯s surprise arrest of Chinese-born Chen is a key step in an until ?now fragmented international campaign targeting sophisticated scam networks in Southeast Asia run by criminal gangs, swindling victims ?worldwide out ?of billions of dollars.
The extradition of Chen, sanctioned by several countries and indicted by ?the United States for wire fraud and money laundering, followed a joint investigation by China and Cambodia, details of which have not been made public.
