Cambodia's National Assembly Passes Cybercrime Bill Targeting Scam Networks

Cambodia's National Assembly has unanimously approved a draft cybercrime law aimed at imposing severe penalties on leaders of large-scale scams. According to NS3.AI, the legislation proposes sentences ranging from 15 to 30 years, or even life imprisonment, for those found guilty. The bill is now set to be reviewed by the Senate and requires final approval from King Norodom Sihamoni. This legislative move is part of Cambodia's broader effort to dismantle scam operations by April. The focus is on networks that exploit cryptocurrencies for cross-border fund transfers and money laundering activities.
