After the COVID-19 pandemic, fraud crimes have significantly increased, especially the scam incidents in Cambodia have drawn attention. The police remind the public at the airport to be cautious of overseas work scams. The Criminal Investigation Bureau pointed out that since the Level 3 alert in 2021, the number of fraud cases has sharply risen. As people stayed home due to the pandemic and used the internet frequently, fraud groups took advantage of various online platforms to commit scams. Moreover, the desperation of the unemployed for online investments has led to a proliferation of fake investment scams, with young people being lured to work overseas, and even becoming victims of human trafficking. To raise public awareness, the National Police Agency launched an anti-fraud dashboard last September, showing around 600 fraud cases reported daily, with financial losses reaching billions of dollars. According to the latest data, the number of fraud cases in January and February this year has decreased to about 400 cases per day, with average financial losses reduced to 260 million dollars.

7 April, 2025

French far-right leader Le Pen recently held a rally in Paris, claiming that she is facing political persecution due to a criminal conviction. However, the anticipated crowd did not appear. According to Politico, she was sentenced to a five-year ban on running for office for misappropriating European Parliament funds. The organizers claimed that 10,000 people attended the event, but the actual turnout was relatively sparse. Meanwhile, left-wing political organizations held a "Defend the Rule of Law" event in Paris, attracting a large number of people. While the ruling did not weaken Le Pen's electoral performance, polls show that a majority of people consider the ruling to be normal, reflecting the good functioning of democracy in France.
