Cambodia's Senate passes anti-tech fraud law on April 3, 2026, with life terms for scam leaders

Cambodia's Senate unanimously approved the Law on Anti-Technology Fraud on April 3, 2026, passing it 58–0. The framework allows 15–30-year prison terms for leaders of online scam operations, upgraded to life imprisonment if a victim dies, and includes fines of up to about $500,000 (2 billion Cambodian Riel). Authorities say they aim to dismantle all illegal scam compounds in the country by an April 2026 deadline.
