(Bangkok, 15th) On the 15th, Thai cyber police conducted a large-scale joint raid, seizing assets in Thailand belonging to Hun Sen’s close associate, Phu Kuo An, Cambodia's former Prime Minister and current Senate President, and pursuing his three children suspected of involvement in transnational telecom fraud.
According to Thai media, the raids were carried out simultaneously at several luxury residences in Bangkok and Sa Kaeo Province. This was a continuation of the first operation on July 8, aimed at further cracking down on Phu Kuo An’s transnational telecom fraud network.
The Thai Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on July 14 for three suspects: Juri, Phuchelin, and Kittisak. Police noted that all three are Phu Kuo An’s biological children, suspected of participating in transnational telecom fraud crimes and serving as key members of the criminal group.
Police also found that all three possess Thai national ID cards, raising questions about the legitimacy of their identities. The Department of Provincial Administration of the Thai Ministry of Interior has set up a special investigation committee to investigate whether the three obtained their ID cards through illegal means, and whether any government officials were involved in assisting with illegal identification.
In the initial raid on July 8, Thai police confiscated millions of baht in assets under Phu Kuo An's name. After acquiring critical leads, authorities expanded the scope of the investigation and applied for arrest warrants for the relevant suspects.
The Thai police emphasized that they will continue to cooperate with cross-border law enforcement to crack down on transnational telecom fraud groups and to prevent Thailand from becoming a hotbed for international telecom fraud crimes.
