🚨 More than 600 people detained in massive raid on #pigbutchering¹ slave compound in #Cambodia supported by #Chinese police.
The #PRC has really started cracking down on #Triads and their slave compounds in SE Asia lately...

* Khmer: https://www.freshnewsasia.com/index.php/en/localnews/364184-2024-11-06-14-43-29.html¹ this is a little bit of interpolation on my part; the news only mentions #cyberscams... but I've never seen a slave compound in #SEAsia that was not a pig butchering slave compound.
