Mondulkiri: German Expat and Owner of Adventure Rider Asia, Reinhard Trippmacher, Arrested for Growing Marijuana Plants

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 think that's fair enough. He called someone a junkie for growing a few pot plants. Dare I say it almost seems like a trend with him? 3 days for them both.

Because Vlad is unable to stop fucking with fellow CEO members that he has problems with on another forum, and then tried to bait someone who's not even a member on CEO, and this is after having to clean up a big mess earlier this week involving him, which included outings, bannings, warnings, deletions, etc.

After all that he continues. Just 3 days.

In this case we are not talking any grown plants at all just plants out of maturity, no buds at the time of arrest. Perhaps the prosecutor can be can see it fit to let him go with an education on the illegality of growing weed... we will see what happens but with the media involved it might get difficult.

@Rock, you seriously misunderstand the situation. He was caught growing and selling illegal substances. There will be no education. He is either going to pay a substantial amount of money (that's what they are looking for, and that's the reason why he got arrested) or he goes for the next 10 years into prison.

Just to put the record strait he was not selling to anyone not even local expats. As for the education I was just quoting the Cambodia daily https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/germ ... arm-98810/ where the head of police was quoted saing it was the posecutors choice as to educate or punish. As to what will really happen or what money will be involved we will have to wait and see but this being Cambo I am sure some money might be asked.
