Cambodian authorities arrested 57 South Koreans for alleged involvement in transnational cyberscams, a government commission said Thursday, days after dozens accused of working in the illicit networks were repatriated. Cambodia's anti-cybercrime commission said in a statement that local authorities raided a building where scam operations were suspected in the capital Phnom Penh on Wednesday.

Police arrested 57 South Koreans and 29 Chinese nationals during the operation, the commission said. Authorities also seized 126 computers and 30 phones, it added.
