Twenty five Chinese nationals are set to be deported from Cambodia after their arrest on Friday for operating an illegal online gambling ring, police said yesterday.

The 25 were arrested at a house in Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district, in a raid involving police officers from the Interior Ministry and the municipality, explained General Uk Heisela, chief investigator at the ministry’s Immigration Department.

While 22 members of the group possessed valid visas, none had work permits, he said, explaining that following questioning on Saturday, all 25 will be deported “soon.”

In Siem Reap city on Saturday night, 27-year-old Chinese national Sheng Qing Zhu was arrested after a waitress was hospitalized after being hit with a glass bottle.

According to the National Police website, Mr. Sheng, an employee at the Casa Hotel, had been arguing with a Caucasian male at Temple Bar in the city center.

When Mr. Sheng tried to throw a beer bottle at the man, he missed, hitting the waitress, 19-year-old Chin Sambo, in the head and causing her to vomit and pass out before being taken to hospital.

Mr. Sheng’s file was sent to the Siem Reap provincial court yesterday.
