The government of Myanmar manages the combined team comprising security forces, administative bodies and local authorities to raid illegal buildigs in Shwe Kokko and KK Park areas where telecom fraud and online gambling activities are operated, and systematically dismantle the confiscated materials and illegal buildings used in the online scams and gambling activities.

Yesterday, the combined team dissolved 12 more illegal buildings — two four-storey buildings and 10 two-storey buildings used in telecom fraud and online gambling activities in Myawady-Maethawtalay (KK Park) area. Hence, a total of 333 buildings out of 635 illegal buildings have been so far demolished in KK Park area.

Likewise, the similar operation was conducted in Shwe Kokko area, starting from 18 November. Up to now, a total of 169 buildings used in the telecom fraud and online gambling activities out of 694 buildings have been inspected. Authorities of the combined team have sealed 161 buildings not to be reused.

Not to reuse the materials in the online scams and gambling activities in KK Park and Shwe Kokko areas, the seized materials were incinerated systematically. Moreover, the Illegal Foreigner Investigation Team verified the foreign nationals detained in the above areas. The relevant departmental combined teams are carrying out the necessary processes, including collecting personal data and recording required documentation to enable their prompt repatriation to their respective countries as quickly as possible.

The government considers the eradication of telecom fraud and online gambling crimes as a national responsibility and, to ensure that such activities can no longer operate within Myanmar, will continue its efforts in coordination not only with domestic forces but also with the governments of neighbouring countries.
