London Mansion Frozen as UK Sanctions Cambodian Scam Network

The UK and US sanctioned the alleged mastermind behind some of the largest scam centers in Cambodia, in a move that freezes more than £130 million ($172 million) of properties across London.

Chen Zhi, the chairman of the Prince Group, was hit with a travel ban and asset freeze that targets a 70,000 square foot, £100 million office block in the heart of the nation’s capital. Some 19 properties were frozen in total including his £12 million mansion in a luxury residential street in northwest London, the UK government said on Tuesday.
