Russian paedophile suspect and INTERPOL target arrested in Cambodia

The arrest by Cambodian police of a Russian man wanted in connection with child sex crime offences and the target of an INTERPOL fugitive operation has been welcomed by the world police organization.

Stanislav Molodyakov, also known as Alexander Trofimov, was among 60 suspects wanted in connection with child sex offences targeted by Operation Infra-SEA (International Fugitive Round-Up and Arrest – South East Asia) launched from INTERPOL’s Liaison Office in Bangkok, Thailand earlier this year.

The 45-year-old, who was taken into custody on Monday, is wanted by Russian authorities in connection with abuse of three minors.

The arrest followed close cooperation between INTERPOL’s National Central Bureaus in Phnom Penh, Moscow and its Fugitives Investigative Support unit based at the General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France.
