Adhoc Staff Questioned by Court Over Sex Scandal
Cambodia Daily | 2 May 2016
Four senior officials of local rights group Adhoc and a former official who now works for the National Election Committee (NEC) were questioned at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court over the weekend and were held overnight at the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU).
The five people—Adhoc’s head of monitoring Ny Sokha, his deputies Nay Vanda and Yi Soksan, its senior investigator Lim Mony, and NEC deputy secretary-general Ny Chakrya, Mr. Sokha’s predecessor—were brought to the court on Saturday.
Each had been arrested and detained by the ACU, which is leading the inquiry into CNRP Vice President Kem Sokha’s sex scandal, and have been accused of helping him convince the alleged mistress to deny the affair with the help of a $500 bribe.
They were sent back to the ACU for detention on Saturday night but were returned to the court Sunday morning for further questioning by prosecutors. They were again returned to the ACU headquarters in Phnom Penh at 8 p.m. last night.
