Description
Four-hundred Indonesians, mostly men, arrive home from Thailand and are met at the airport by officials, including the country's foreign minister, after being rescued from scam centres in Myanmar's lawless border areas.
Cyberscam operations lure foreign workers with promises of high-paying jobs, but hold them hostage and force them to commit online fraud. "We found cases where they were threatened with having their body organs taken if the targets set by these cartels were not met," says Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Budi Gunawan.
