Russian Tycoon Nikolai Doroshenko Arrested in Sihanoukville

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.

Those Russians are mean chess players alright.

But forged documents is a bit on the light side, isn't it?
Not sure that's totally checkmate. 1-0 if you like :popcorn:

Maybe, but not if his visa gets revoked as a result or he does some jail time.

This son is, not the father...or so I thought. Was Nicholai granted citizenship?

Either way, the article says he is facing over 10 years.
Presumably, Doroshenko accused of embezzlement in a large scale, forging documents and a number of other offenses for which the entrepreneur faces at least ten years' imprisonment.

Although Nikolai Doroshenko’s arrest appears to be a victory for Polonsky’s side, the tycoon remains wanted by Interpol on charges of embezzling investors in a Russian real estate deal.

Earlier this month, Russia and Cambodia announced they were exploring the possibility of signing an extradition treaty which would pave the way for Polonsky’s extradition.

Maybe Cambodia is just sick of them both and finally ready to have them both outta here.

I hope someone makes a movie out of it all. Filmed "on location" of course.

I assume it's commonly accepted that they both can be considered crime bosses or "mafia."

Hell, Polowsky is wanted by Interpol for crimes in Russia.

They have been feuding for a while now. One's son just got attacked. Both families had their cars set on fire this month, and maybe other things recently that I can't come up with at the moment.

So yeah, I'd say they're both the cause of some of the crime that's been getting a lot of publicity down in Sihanoukville lately.
