Thailand, 11 countries strengthen crackdown on call centre scam trafficking networks

Thailand and 11 other countries agreed to strengthen intelligence sharing, cross-border investigations, financial tracking and victim repatriation to combat human trafficking linked to call centre scam syndicates, the Royal Thai Police said.

The agreement was reached during a meeting in Chanthaburi attended by law enforcement agencies from China, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, the United States, Indonesia, India, Australia, South Korea and Nepal, as well as representatives from international organisations and Thai government agencies.

Deputy national police chief Pol. Gen. Thatchai Pitaneelaboot said authorities from participating countries rescued 14,694 trafficking victims from 46 nationalities between Feb. 20, 2025 and March 31, 2026. Thailand also repatriated 2,774 Thais from Cambodia in 105 operations between 2022 and 2026 after they became involved with call centre scam and online gambling networks.

The meeting also agreed to strengthen efforts to prevent recruitment through fake job offers, investment scams and romance scams by increasing intelligence sharing and public awareness.

Kabilang sa mga nahuli ang apat na Israeli, dalawang Chinese nationals, isang Moroccan, isang Australian, isang Nigerian, at isang Lithuanian.

Ide-detain sila sa detention facility ng BI sa Manila para isailalim sa immigration proceedings.

"Hospitality should never be mistaken for tolerance of those who choose to violate our laws. Those who abuse the privilege of staying in our country must face the consequences," ayon kay Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado.

“On the question of the quantum of proof:  given that impeachment is a sui generis constitutional proceeding, the standards of proof that govern administrative, civil, and criminal proceedings do not apply.  

However, this does not mean that the Senator-judges shall rely solely on their conscience in deciding this case. No less than the Supreme Court also said that “decisions regarding whether to acquit or convict must be based upon clear charges supported by sufficiently clear and convincing evidence.”

Furthermore, let me be clear that the burden of proof in these proceedings rests upon the Prosecution. It does not and will not shift. The Respondent is afforded the presumption of innocence and has no obligation to disprove the charges against her.” - SEscudero
