Scam centers previously based in Cambodia have relocated to Antananarivo, according to Arabnews.pk. The move marks a shift in criminal infrastructure as operators seek new hubs with less scrutiny.

Madagascar's capital is now grappling with an influx of these operations, which are reportedly targeting international victims through online fraud schemes, per the same report from Arabnews.pk.

Meanwhile, foreign financial ties between Madagascar and Moscow have tightened, as noted by africaintelligence.com. This development may influence how local law enforcement addresses cross-border cybercrime.
