Taiwan has not had representation in Cambodia since 1997, when Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered its Phnom Penh offices shuttered. "After checking with the Cambodian authorities, we found out that seven of the arrested suspects are from our country," the Tuesday press release said. "Ho Chi Minh City has sent representatives to Cambodia to confirm the identity of the suspects, and provided the necessary assistance." Hai Sela yesterday maintained he had no knowledge that there were Taiwanese among the 31 arrested as part of Monday's latest Chinese VoIP scam bust. However, Sok Phal, the chief of the Immigration Department, confirmed that seven Taiwanese were among the arrestees and that he did not know to which country they would be deported.
