Thailand seizes $388m in assets linked to scam networks

|December 05, 2025
Thailand has seized more than US$300 million (S$388 million) in assets tied to criminal networks running multibillion-dollar scam centres in Southeast Asia, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Dec 3.
-
The announcement comes after the authorities across Asia, Europe and the US targeted Cambodia’s Prince Holding Group and its global business network with asset seizures and freezes worth billions of dollars.
In October, the US authorities indicted Prince’s Chinese-born founder Chen Zhi, accusing him of presiding over forced labour camps in Cambodia where trafficked workers conduct online scams.
Mr Anutin told reporters on Dec 3 that alleged scammers targeted with asset seizures valued at more than US$300 million were “among the big ones”, including Chen, a Cambodian senator and two Thai nationals.
