Owner of Fat Cat Bar in Kampot (Yan Demyanov) Arrested For Drug Dealing After Police Raid Yields a Lot of Marijuana

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.

Damn, if true, it explains why they didn't give the press his name or the name of his bar while they were sorting out their tea money.

Lucky he didn't have hard drugs onsite, would of cost have 5k$++ and a few years in the pen. According to my source they've been sussing him out for a while, but weren't sure what they would find onsite. It's only weed, so the brass and courts are happy with more pocket change. They could of hooked him up with some meth and really fucked him over if they wanted too but the Kampot brass are for,the most part straight shooters.

Wow, sounds like your source was spot on.

Damn, might prove tricky for him to stay in Cambodia now, and will have to slow down his drug dealing.

I wonder if the other foreigners had to pay anything.

That's the figure I was given last night, he might have had to chip in a bit more because it went to court today but I doubt it...I Think it was a 'fully comprehensive donation'. ;)

Everybody pays. Given the publicity he is lucky to still be able to do that. Publicity makes everything more difficult and expensive. But generally speaking, it's really not good practice to publicly announce that you are paying bribes to corrupt official to get out of a crime. That's inviting about four more kinds of potentially even more serious trouble.

I find it hard to believe that your typical skint expat who posted this on Facebook six months ago came up with $5,000 in 24 hours:

"As many of you might realize, I am very nearly broke. For a long time now, forever actually, as me having money is rare and exceptional. This is the reason we don't breakfast at Espresso or dinner at Tertullia, as much as we would love to."

Maybe it's 'HIGH' season and he's rolling in it.
