Thailand has seized over $300 million in assets linked to major criminal networks operating multibillion-dollar online scam centres across Southeast Asia. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced that the targeted individuals include Chen Zhi—Chinese-born founder of Cambodia’s Prince Holding Group—along with a Cambodian senator and two Thai nationals.
Thailand’s Anti-Money Laundering Office reported confiscating 373 million baht ($11.7m) in assets from Chen, including land, cash and luxury goods. Authorities also seized nearly $15m from Cambodian senator Kok An, and about $290m from two Thais allegedly tied to scam operations.
The crackdown follows international action across the US, Europe and Asia against Prince Holding Group, whose founder Chen was indicted in October for running forced-labour scam compounds in Cambodia
