Russians, Cambodians arrested after impersonating Hun Sen to perpetrate fraud
Two Russian men and their two Cambodian accomplices were arrested for an online fraud operation which impersonated high-level officials to encourage investors. - Anti-Cyber Crime Department PHNOM PENH: Two Russian nationals and two Cambodians have been arrested by the Anti-Cyber Crime Department for impersonating Senate president Hun Sen and other high-ranking officials on Telegram. They used to fake accounts to encourage members of the public to invest in fraudulent investment schemes which promised high profits. On Friday (July 4), the department announced that it had conducted an investigation into the scheme, which had duped people out of more than US$40,000. Besides impersonating Hun Sen, the perpetrators also faked accounts of Heng Sour, Minister of Labour and Vocational Training, and Kim Santepheap, secretary of state at the Ministry of Justice. Initially, on June 21, anti-cyber crime officers detained one Cambodian suspect who was responsible for receiving money from the scam victims. Further investigation led to the arrest of three additional suspects on June 23, including two Russians and one Cambodian woman. According to the authorities, the Cambodian woman facilitated the transfer of funds from the initial suspect and converted the money into electronic funds, likely cryptocurrency. The four suspects have been referred to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for legal proceedings. 'Please exercise caution before investing online and thoroughly verify the sources of online investment promotions to avoid financial losses or damage to your personal interests,' warned the department. - The Phnom Penh Post/ANN

IGP: GMRB militant group funding IS operations in Syria, Bangladesh
THE Bangladeshi Radical Militant Group (GMRB), recently dismantled by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), is believed to have been raising funds and recruiting members for the Islamic State (IS) in Syria and Bangladesh. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said the group collected funds by charging an annual membership fee of RM500 per person, as well as other voluntary contributions based on members' financial means. Initial investigations revealed the group had between 100 and 150 members, all Bangladeshi nationals working in labour sectors such as factories, construction sites, and petrol stations across Malaysia. 'The funds collected were then transferred abroad using e-wallet applications and international money transfer services,' he told a press conference here today.

Selangor PKR director slams "malicious defamation," denies gangster ties
SHAH ALAM – Selangor PKR Communications Director, Mohd Afiq Mohd Tuniman has denied all unfounded allegations made against him in a Facebook post by an individual using the account "Suara Rakyat". In a statement on Friday, he described the post directly linked him to several serious accusations. Following a police report lodged earlier, authorities are now investigating the matter. These included involvement with the gangster group 'Kucing Merah', a brawl incident in Sungai Mas, a fire in Saujana Putra, claims of political protection to avoid legal action and recruiting youth into gangsterism. 'All these allegations are untrue, maliciously defamatory, and intended to tarnish my personal and professional reputation,' he stated. Afiq also claimed similar defamatory content had previously circulated on other platforms, including the Telegram channel 'Edisi Siasat', as well as Facebook accounts belonging to Badrul Hisham Shaharin, also known as Cikgu Bard and Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, who also spread unfounded narratives about him. Following a police report lodged earlier, authorities are now investigating the matter. An individual named Khairul Anwar Zainal, who operates the Facebook account 'Khairul Anwar Fiza', has been detained to assist in investigations. 'I appreciate the firm action taken by the police in addressing this matter and hope that investigations will be conducted thoroughly against all involved,' he said. As a result, he confirmed legal action has been taken, including filing a civil suit and lodging criminal reports against all social media account holders involved. These actions fall under provisions of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and other relevant laws. Letters of Demand (LOD) have also been issued to the three individuals involved and responses are currently awaited. 'Despite the public apology on social media by Nik Badrul Hisham regarding the same defamatory claims, the LOD against him, who is one of the three individuals, will still proceed,' he added. He also urged the public not to share or spread any unverified information and to always act responsibly when using social media. 'I will continue to defend my name and take all necessary steps to ensure the truth prevails,' he said. Meanwhile, in a separate statement, PKR's Kuala Langat division condemned the irresponsible actions of certain parties who spread false accusations about individuals in their organisation via social media. Its Information Chief, Mohd Khairool Ngadon said the viral slander contained serious, baseless allegations with malicious intent. 'This is clearly an attempt to create confusion, damage reputations, and stir tensions at the grassroots level,' he said. He added the division supports the ongoing legal actions being taken to address the matter through lawful and proper channels. 'We firmly state that the spread of false information is a crime and action must be taken against all involved,' he said. He also urged the public to exercise caution, refrain from spreading slander, and always verify the accuracy of information before sharing. 'Keadilan Kuala Langat remains committed to upholding the truth and rejecting dirty politics,' he said.
