What the document holds
OCCRP feature (21 Jan 2026; Wayback capture, origin timed out) on Cambodia as a haven for organised crime: patronage networks, the citizenship-for-donation/investment scheme (1996 law amounts restated), China-born figures with Cambodian citizenship later sanctioned or prosecuted, nine of ten convicted in Singapore's 2023 laundering case held Cambodian citizenship, the government stopped publishing new citizens' names (undated), casino and scam-centre economy. Scam, casino and crime figures are out of scope; the scandal event is already in the data.
