Thailand Seizes R4.26 Billion in Assets to Compensate Scam Victims
Victims of transnational cyber scam operations in Cambodia will receive proportional recovery of their lost assets through a state-led distribution process. The process follows the latest seizure of assets worth 8.3 billion baht (R4.26 billion), including cash, cars, bank deposits, and securities. These assets belong to people behind an alleged money-laundering network, including South African-born businessman Benjamin Mauerberger and Cambodian tycoon Yim Leak. This latest seizure by the Anti-Money Laundering Office brings the total value of confiscated assets in the probe to more than 20 billion baht. Assets obtained from the network will become state property before being distributed back to the victims proportionately.
