[Financial News] An operating room was discovered in a building at a scam compound located on the Thailand-Cambodia border, raising suspicions that organ-trading crimes may have taken place there.
Massive crime compound discovered in Thai hotel building... 15,000 members lived there
Japan's JIJI PRESS reported on the 9th that an operating room equipped with surgical instruments was discovered in a building at a scam compound in Chong Chom, a border area between Thailand and Cambodia.
Chong Chom is where the Thai military launched a raid and seized control during a military conflict last December. The compound was originally built as a hotel resort but was used as a massive scam compound after the COVID-19 pandemic began.
The 810,000-square-meter site contained about 150 buildings, including residences. At one point, approximately 15,000 members of the organization, including Japanese nationals, lived there and carried out scams.
Documents seized at the site by the military included the statement, "If members fail to meet their quotas, they may be used for other purposes," as well as the specific term "organ trading."
Surgical equipment suspected of being used for illegal organ harvesting... "Members also became targets if they failed to meet quotas"
In fact, surgical equipment and beds suspected of having been used for illegal organ harvesting were found in a three-story building. Investigators also discovered cells equipped with closed-circuit television cameras and signs that tests for sexually transmitted diseases, including syphilis, had been conducted regularly. Examination tables and medical records related to abortions were reportedly left inside.
During the takeover, the military detained a considerable number of Vietnamese and Chinese nationals who were fleeing. Several reportedly had wounds covering their bodies or had lost fingers. A military official explained that trafficking victims were forced to carry out scams and threatened with organ trading and other measures if they failed to meet performance targets.
Amnesty International previously said in an in-depth report released last year that it had visited 53 scam compounds in 16 areas of Cambodia over 18 months and interviewed 58 survivors from eight countries, including nine children. Most were reportedly lured into the country by fake job advertisements on social media and then subjected to forced labor amid violence and threats.
