Individuals who handed over South Koreans to illegal scam organizations in Cambodia or participated in these organizations have been handed over to the prosecution while in custody.
On October 24, the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul announced that two recruiters in their 20s and three participants in their 20s have been detained and referred to the prosecution on fraud charges.
According to the police, the two recruiters are accused of handing over South Koreans to the criminal organization in exchange for 2 million won per person.
Investigations revealed that the three participants who traveled to Cambodia through these recruiters disguised themselves as call center employees and deceived victims by promising commissions for proxy purchases on shopping malls, ultimately defrauding them of 500 million won.
The police are also investigating five individuals who lent their bank accounts under their own names to these suspects.
