Recently, the media reported that many Taiwanese people were tricked into working in Cambodia and were imprisoned and beaten, which caused great concern. According to Phoenix TV , on the 21st, seven more Taiwanese who were defrauded into Cambodia were rescued and returned to Taiwan after their families paid ransom. Preliminary estimates indicate that about 370 Taiwanese are still missing in Cambodia. The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia issued a letter to Taiwanese compatriots in Cambodia on the 20th, stating that if Taiwanese compatriots have difficulties, they can approach the Chinese Embassy.
With the assistance of the Taiwan police, the two men and three women who were rescued first flew from Phnom Penh to Bangkok , and then flew back to Taiwan from Bangkok. They finally arrived at Taoyuan Airport on the evening of the 21st. The Pingtung County Police Department took over the investigation.
htmlOn the afternoon of the 121st, two other men trapped in Cambodia were also rescued and returned to Taiwan, including a man named Zheng who lives in Pingtung and went to Cambodia to work in Cambodia after being introduced by his high school classmates at the beginning of the month. His parents urgently raised a ransom of 150,000 yuan Taiwan dollars , and only then did his son's safety come back to him at the hands of the smuggler group. The man surnamed Zhang, who returned to Taiwan on the same flight, lost contact in June. His family reported the case to the Taiwan police and learned that their son had been trapped in Cambodia for the past few months.
It is also very difficult for the Taiwanese police to track down the "pig selling" case. A Taiwanese couple was imprisoned because they were lured to work in Cambodia by the high salary. The smuggler group even threatened the two families if they did not pay a ransom of NT$1.8 million. The kidney was removed. After
's family called the police, the police arrested two members of the smuggling group in Taiwan. However, the smuggling group has a close division of labor and does not know or have contact with each other. Therefore, even if someone is arrested, it is difficult to trace it back, shaking the operation of the entire group.
According to intelligence obtained by the Taiwanese police, Taiwanese people are lured to Cambodia to participate in fraud crimes, and almost all of them are run by a gang leader nicknamed "Long Ge" from the Bamboo Union Gang. The Taiwan police have listed "Brother Long" as the top target of investigation, hoping to cut off the financial backers behind him and dismantle the fraud group.
htmlOn August 20, the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia issued a letter to Taiwanese compatriots in Cambodia. The letter stated that Taiwanese compatriots are Chinese citizens. If you have any difficulties, please contact the Chinese Embassy.
