Phnom penh: Cyber police have initiated a major operation aimed at dismantling the network of Kok An, the godfather of Crown Casino and a close associate of Samdech Hun Sen. The operation, titled ‘Close the Horse Account Building, Hunt the Cambodian Capitalists,’ involves searches across 19 locations in three provinces.

According to Thai News Agency, the raid is part of a broader crackdown on transnational crime, with an arrest warrant issued for Kok An for his alleged involvement in colluding with transnational crime organizations. The focus of the investigation appears to be a call center gang operating in Poipet, Cambodia, which is believed to be part of this extensive criminal network.

The operation underscores the ongoing efforts by authorities to combat organized crime that crosses international boundaries. The involvement of high-profile figures such as Kok An highlights the complexity and reach of these criminal organizations, as well as the challenges faced by law enforcement in dismantling them.
