UNODC warns of organised crime targeting Timor-Leste gaming operations
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime warned that organised crime groups are using foreign investment to establish scam centres and illicit gaming operations in Timor-Leste, particularly in the Oecusse Digital Centre free trade zone. It cited regulatory vulnerabilities and recent law-enforcement actions uncovering online scam operations.
The warning identifies risks to regulators and legitimate operators from illicit gaming activity in Timor-Leste’s free trade zone.
