Colombian GONAZLEZ MARMOLEJO JAIME arrested with cocaine at Phnom Penh Airport

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I gotta get back on it. Was great, but can't remember if I finished season 1 or 2.

Incredibly, the accused blamed an unknown Nigerian man for organizing the drug trafficking.
Judge Sao said that after his arrest, police seized 3,855.28 grams of cocaine from Mr Gonzalez, which was wrapped in plastic and put in the bottom of his suitcase and laptop bag.

Mr Gonzalez admitted his guilt during his trial last month, but claimed the drugs did not belong to him.

He said they belonged to an unknown Nigerian who lived in Colombia and who was still at large.

The Nigerian offered him $40,000 to bring the drugs from Colombia to Cambodia. But he had not been paid since he was arrested. It had not been possible to contact the Nigerian after his arrest.

Gonazlez Marmolejo Jaime appeals against life sentence.

A Columbian national who was sentenced to life imprisonment by a lower court for possession of almost 4kg of cocaine on June 7, 2018, has appealed to the Supreme Court to review the conviction saying that he was not a drug trafficker but just a paid worker who was asked to carry the drugs from Columbia to Cambodia.

Hmm, sounds like a trafficker to me, just the lowest end of that food chain.

there is defiantly a difference between a trafficker and a mule
