The United States is sanctioning four individuals and 41 entities linked to the Cambodia-based Prince Group Transnational Criminal Organisation (TCO), building on the October 2025 and June 2026 designations targeting the organisation’s leadership, affiliated companies, and financial facilitators.
The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), has implemented the sanctions.
US Department of State spokesman Thomas Pigott stated that ‘Prince Group TCO members target victims in the United States and around the world through sophisticated cyber-enabled fraud schemes, many of which are carried out from large-scale scam compounds in Southeast Asia.
Today’s designations target several individuals and affiliated companies who continue to provide material support to the Prince Group TCO.’
He added, ‘No criminal network is beyond reach. The Trump Administration will continue to expose, sanction, and dismantle the criminal networks that prey on Americans through cybercrime, fraud, and extortion.
The sanctioned individuals are Qiu Yong, Zhao Mengyao, Visal Pang and He Yujing.
The 11 sanctioned entities in Cambodia have been listed as Asian Welfare Lotteries Co Ltd, CB General Insurance Plc, Cambodian Resource Energy Development Co Ltd, Cambodian Unite Wei Ye Investment Co, DT Zhi Zao Co Ltd, First Aquatic Industrial Co Ltd, Mo Net Beauty Co Ltd, Prince International Airlines Co Ltd, Richeng Property Developer Co Ltd, Tian Xu International Technology Plc, and ZHX Printing Equipment Cambodia Co.
In addition, entities in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Singapore, Mauritius and Malaysia have also been sanctioned.
