Myanmar repatriates 27 foreigners linked to telecom fraud

A total of 27 foreign nationals who were involved in telecom fraud and other criminal ac­tivities have been repatriated from Myanmar to their respec­tive countries.

The group includes 21 Chi­nese and two Nepalis, two Indi­ans and one Nigerian national who had illegally entered My­anmar through border routes, conducting online gambling, online scams, and other crim­inal acts. The repatriation process was carried out in accordance with the law and international cooperation, pri­oritizing humanitarian consid­erations and fostering friendly relations between countries.

In order to quickly repat­riate these foreign nationals to their respective countries, the departmental officials are conducting the necessary per­sonal information and record collection work, and are being closely monitored and coor­dinated by Lt-Col San Shwe, a member of the Myawady District Administration and Management Committee, and officials.

The Myanmar govern­ment continues to actively identify, apprehend, and take strong action against foreign­ers involved in online scam centres and other criminal net­works. Myanmar collaborates closely with neighbouring countries, regional partners, and international organiza­tions to ensure effective law enforcement. — MNA/MKKS
