Local Police Collusion Hampers Crackdown on Asian Scam Centers

Scam centers across Asia continue to operate despite law enforcement efforts, with tens of billions of dollars in cybercrime proceeds flowing into regional economies. Local police corruption and collusion are identified as significant obstacles to dismantling these operations.

Why it matters: Organizations and individuals in any region are at risk of scams originating from these centers; security leaders should understand that transnational enforcement challenges and local corruption limit the effectiveness of law enforcement interventions.
