Re: Cambodian Wildlife Director Arrested for Monkey Business, in New York, US
"Monkey-Laundering" (wild monkeys sold as farmed monkeys) has been going on for some time in Cambodia. Back in 2015, most of the wild macaques were first smuggled to Vietnam, where they were issued fake documents, before being sold on the international market :
Wild Macaques ‘Laundered’ for Sale in Vietnam
August 15, 2015

Considered a nuisance throughout much of Cambodia, the long-tailed macaque might not seem like a species in need of protection.
But according to an animal rights group, the global demand for animal test subjects is driving an illegal and unimpeded cross-border trade in wild long-tailed macaques that is threatening to diminish the species’ already dwindling population in the country.
Between January and June, Cruelty Free International (CFI), a U.K.-based anti-animal testing organization, conducted field investigations in Cambodia and Vietnam, where they interviewed animal traders and employees of monkey-breeding farms.
According to a report summarizing their investigation, the group found a flourishing illicit trade in which the monkeys are caught in Cambodian forests and smuggled into Vietnam. Once across the border, the primates are issued fake documents that label them as farmed monkeys, allowing them to be exported legally.
“We’re talking about animals being laundered,” Sarah Kite, director of special projects at CFI, said Friday. “The really shocking thing from our recent investigation was this trade of wild caught macaques was going from Cambodia to Vietnam.”

MAFF top brass on the TlS, Pursat.
The most bent organisation in country.
Powerful and dangerous. Unchallengeable.
Heroes bend before them as an accepted matter of course.
This boat has seen (literally) 100s of millions pass through their hands.

Would you think it possible for Keo Omaliss to strike a deal?
