2 Vietnamese men jailed for organising illegal exit of Malaysian to Cambodia
The victim, allegedly recruited to work in online scam operations, had jumped out of their car and died.
Two Vietnamese men, Ngo Hoang Thanh and Nguyen Hong Hai, have been jailed for organising the illegal exit of a Malaysian man, identified only as ALKC, from Vietnam to Cambodia to work for companies involved in online scams. The men were sentenced to nine and eight years in prison respectively by the people's court in Dong Thap Province.
According to court documents, Thanh was paid between US$1,000 and US$2,000 for each successful illegal exit, which he shared with Hai. ALKC entered Vietnam through Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City and was picked up by Thanh and Hai in a car. During the journey, ALKC became increasingly distressed and jumped from the car onto the expressway, sustaining fatal injuries.
Authorities determined that ALKC was a victim of a network organising the illegal movement of foreign nationals into Cambodia for recruitment into online scam operations.
