Polonsky arrested, to be deported

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 wonder if the Immigration Dept. and its heads will get the same thing from Russia that HE's bodyguard unit got from China when they sold off Ream Park. Guns, Motorcycles, cars, equipment, money.

Deported to Russia via Vietnam, this morning.
Fugitive Sergei Polonsky Deported to Russia

Sergei Polonsky, the fugitive Russian oligarch who has poured millions of dollars into tourism developments off the coast of Sihanoukville, was deported Sunday morning to Russia, where he faces massive embezzlement charges, an Interior Ministry official said.

Uk Heisela, chief of investigations at the ministry’s general department of immigration, said that Mr. Polonsky was placed aboard a flight to Vietnam shortly before 7 a.m.

“This morning, we deported him at about 6:40 a.m., and it is only Polonsky,” said Major General Heisela.

“Polonsky was sent on an Angkor Air flight through to Ho Chi Minh and then straight to Moscow,” he added.

Fifteen foreigners and six Cambodians who work for Polonsky were transported back to the mainland on Saturday at about 8pm, according to provincial police chief Choun Narin.

“We were not arresting them, but we tried to help them by bringing them back from the island since there was no longer any way for them to live on the island,” he said.

“There is a child among the 15 foreigners, and one of them [a Russian national] has a forged passport, so we are keeping him in detention. The rest have now left with their friends and families after 10pm last night following two hours of questioning,” he said.

“We found they had tourist visas … except the one who had a fake passport .”

A wager has been proposed on kh440 about him dying within a year, I am sure he could accommodate with your terms.

Morbid, but probably valid.
