Law enforcement officers in Cambodia recently arrested 16 North Korean nationals for their roles in running an illegal gambling operation with ties to China.

 

The North Koreans, who weren’t identified by Cambodian authorities, were working as information technology (IT) staffers for an unnamed Chinese online gambling outfit. The Southeast Asian country, which borders Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, passed legislation last year prohibiting online gaming and that law went into effect on Jan. 1.

 

Brigadier General Chea Kimsan said the North Koreans entered Cambodia using tourist visas and overstayed those permits, proceeding to work for the Chinese gaming concern for over a year.

According to UN sanctions, North Korean nationals are not allowed to work in Cambodia but these 16 men used tourist visas and worked illegally for nearly a year in the Kingdom,” said Kimsan in an interview with The Khemer Times.
