Minister of Justice Leads Meeting to Promote the Fight Against Money Laundering and Technology-Based Fraud

His Excellency Koeut Rith, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Justice, and Chairman of the National Coordinating Committee for Combating Money Laundering, the Financing of Terrorism, and the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (N.C.C.), on September 22, 2026, led a meeting with relevant ministries and institutions to review work progress and set further directions. The meeting focused particularly on combating money laundering related to technology-based fraud offenses.
The meeting was attended by His Excellency Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia; His Excellency Dr. Om Yentieng, Senior Minister and President of the Anti-Corruption Unit; His Excellency Dr. Chhay Sinarith, Senior Minister and Chairman of the Secretariat of the Commission for Combating Technology-Based Fraud; His Excellency Neth Pheaktra, Minister of Information; and Her Excellency Dr. Chea Serey, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia, along with leaders and technical officials from other relevant ministries and institutions.
Through the discussions, the relevant institutions reviewed progress and ongoing work to strengthen cooperation in preventing money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, combating financial flows linked to technology-based fraud was also raised as a key point for review, in order to identify measures and further work directions to be more effective.
It should be recalled that international cooperation is also a key point, as fraud networks may operate across many countries. Cambodia has strengthened information sharing and cooperation with foreign law enforcement agencies to track criminal networks and related financial flows. This is part of Cambodia's response to transnational criminal networks that use technology and financial systems to commit offenses. By: Sophaok
