马达加斯加安塔那那利坡消息——当局告诉法新社，对马达加斯加网络诈骗窝点的突袭搜查暴露了该窝点与一个犯罪集团的联系，该集团曾在柬埔寨运营类似业务，并通过涉嫌人口贩运欺骗非洲公民。
ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar – Raids against online scam centres in Madagascar have exposed ties with a criminal group that ran similar operations in Cambodia, also duping African nationals via alleged human trafficking, the authorities told AFP.
马达加斯加司法部表示，这些窝点从事恋爱、加密货币和投资诈骗，主要由中国公民运营，其中148人已被引渡回中国。
Conducting romance, cryptocurrency and investment fraud, the sites were operated mostly by Chinese nationals, 148 of whom have been extradited to China, Madagascar’s Justice Ministry said.
该部门称，在8月和9月与美国司法部（DOJ）联合开展的行动中，13个由中国人经营的诈骗园区被捣毁。
Thirteen Chinese-run scam compounds were taken down in operations in August and September conducted with the US Department of Justice (DOJ), it said.
美国执法部门在一份声明中表示，仅在一天内就查获了约5200万美元（约合6660万新加坡元）的加密货币，并处理了3200多台电子设备。
About US$52 million (S$66.6 million) of cryptocurrency was seized in a single day and more than 3,200 electronic devices were processed, the US authority said in a statement.
联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室曾在2025年警告称，这些网络正在扩张，特别是向非洲南部扩张。
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had warned in 2025 about the expansion of these networks, particularly into Southern Africa.
在8月的一起引发广泛关注并据称牵涉监狱管理局长的丑闻中，在网络诈骗打击行动中被分别逮捕的11名中国公民神秘地从马达加斯加的一所监狱获释。
Eleven Chinese nationals arrested separately in the online scam crackdown mysteriously walked free from a Madagascar jail in August in a widely publicised scandal allegedly implicating the head of the prison service.
官员表示，几名非洲公民仍被羁押，尽管初步调查结果表明他们可能是人口贩运的受害者。
Several African nationals remained in custody, even though initial findings suggested they may have been victims of human trafficking, officials said.
通过社交媒体招募 与东南亚的诈骗行动一样，马达加斯加的诈骗中心据称通过社交媒体并以高薪承诺，将非洲人诱骗至这个印度洋岛屿。
Recruited via social media As in scam operations in South-east Asia, the Madagascar centres allegedly lured Africans to the Indian Ocean island via social media and with promises of salaries.
当局称，在此案中，大约有20名来自肯尼亚、卢旺达、乌干达和津巴布韦的公民被拘留。
In this case, around 20 nationals of Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe were in custody, the authorities said.
警察犯罪部门负责人哈桑·穆瓦尼（Hassan Mouigni）告诉法新社：“根据他们的供述，他们是通过Facebook被招募来马达加斯加从事商业部门工作的。”
“According to their statements, they were recruited via Facebook to come work in Madagascar in the commercial sector,” the police crime unit chief Hassan Mouigni told AFP.
他说：“但当他们来到这里时，大多数人的护照都被老板没收了，他们被迫进行诈骗。他们是欺诈的受害者。”美国当局称，被指控运营一个恋爱诈骗计划的男子是一名马来西亚公民，名叫崔国华（Chui Kok Wa，音译），他定居在首都安塔那那利坡附近的高档伊瓦托（Ivato）社区的一栋别墅里。
“But when they arrived here, most of the passports were confiscated by the boss and they were forced to scam,” he said. “They were victims of deception.”The man charged with running one romance scam scheme was a Malaysian national, identified as Chui Kok Wa, who had installed himself in a villa in the upscale Ivato neighbourhood near the capital, Antananarivo, the US authorities said.
穆瓦尼说：“从他护照上的签证，我们可以推断他是2024年第一次来到这里的。根据护照记录，他此前曾在柬埔寨。”
“From the visa in his passport, we were able to deduce that he arrived here for the first time in 2024. According to the passport, he was previously in Cambodia,” Mouigni said.
美国司法部表示，该部门认为其“与马来西亚和中国有联系的犯罪集团于2025年初在马达加斯加开设了诈骗园区，很可能是在该国执法行动后将这些业务从柬埔寨转移过来的”。
The DOJ said it believed his “criminal group with connections to Malaysia and China opened scam compounds in Madagascar in early 2025, likely having moved those operations from Cambodia after law enforcement action in that country”.
马达加斯加通信部网络犯罪部门协调员齐托海纳·拉利希瓦奥（Tsitohaina Ralihivao）将其与2025年柬埔寨在靠近泰国边境地区打击诈骗园区的行动联系起来，当时两国军队也发生了冲突。
The coordinator of the cybercrime unit at Madagascar’s Communications Ministry, Tsitohaina Ralihivao, drew a connection with a 2025 crackdown on scam compounds in Cambodia near the border with Thailand, when their militaries also clashed.
拉利希瓦奥告诉法新社：“当泰国人捣毁他们时，他们只是转移了业务。同样的组织来到了马达加斯加。”
“When the Thais dismantled them, they just relocated the operations. The same organisations came to Madagascar,” Ralihivao told AFP.
转移 美国司法部共享的一份联邦调查局（FBI）法庭文件在盘问了三名曾在安塔那那利坡诈骗园区工作的巴西公民后，得出了类似的结论。
Relocating An FBI court document shared by the DOJ drew a similar conclusion after questioning three Brazilian nationals who worked at a scam compound in Antananarivo.
文件称：“这些人报告说，他们最初是对网上发布的就业机会做出回应，最终在一个位于柬埔寨的园区工作。”
“These individuals reported that they originally responded to work opportunities posted online, and ended up working at a compound located in Cambodia.
“后来，部分由于柬埔寨和泰国之间的武装冲突，也为了应对柬埔寨与诈骗园区相关的警方行动，这些证人在2026年5月初被转移到马达加斯加安塔那那利坡。”
“Later, in part due to an armed conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, and also in response to police activity in Cambodia related to scam compounds, the witnesses were moved to Antananarivo, Madagascar, in early May 2026,” it said.
联邦调查局表示：“在东南亚此类园区关闭后，网络诈骗中心越来越多地在非洲开设。”
“Cyber scam centres are increasingly opening in Africa following the closure of such compounds in South-east Asia,” the FBI said.
穆瓦尼说，美国当局进行了干预，因为这些中心“主要针对英语国家”，包括美国、加拿大和巴基斯坦。拉利希瓦奥补充说，因此“需要来自英语非洲国家的公民”。诈骗中心的到来在马达加斯加首都并没有被忽视。
The US authorities intervened because these centres “primarily targeted English-speaking countries”, including the United States, Canada and Pakistan, Mouigni said. Hence the “need for nationals from English-speaking African countries”, added Ralihivao. The arrival of scam centres has not gone unnoticed in the capital of Madagascar.
穆瓦尼说：“在此之前，他们占据的别墅有点隐蔽。引起我们警觉的是，他们开始租下整栋酒店。”
“Before they occupied villas that were a little discreet. What alerted us was that they started renting entire hotels,” Mouigni said.
设立在市中心丽华酒店（Live Hotel）的一个园区涉嫌负责人是一名中国公民，他是被引渡到北京的人员之一。
The suspected head of one compound installed at the Live Hotel in the city was a Chinese national who was among those extradited to Beijing.
一名美国联邦警察在法庭文件中表示，像所有“被确定为头目的中国公民”一样，他无法接受联邦调查局的盘问。
Like all “Chinese nationals identified as leaders”, he could not be questioned by the FBI, a US federal police said in court documents.
