Russki Ilya Sergeyovich Vlasov Arrested in Kep

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.

Illegal possession of a firearm.

Weed helps his case, haha, to mellow him out when he feels alone or paranoid.

He likes to be a tough guy ... lawyer ... Muscovite? In tropical Cambodia ... gay FB group?

Why didn't he "make arrangements" to carry if he had a legitimate reason. Bad lawyer, or something?

Ah, without bringing up phantoms of Orlando night clubs and all ... pure speculation ...

I don't like this guy or any other without a good reason having a gun around *in Cambodia*.
- They get stolen,
- They get shot in inter-Russian gun battles, startling and possibly hitting innocent bystanders (bad for business),
- They encourage cowboy behavior in an already peaceful society just starting to recover from a tragic civil war.

I am an American. Yes, I personally believe in gun ownership (in America, by Americans).

But I do not believe in an armed populace in Cambodia. Not a chance.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

C’mon New Kid...having picatinny rails, grip tape (could just be standard electrical tape) and a retention strap (looks like a shoelace!) doesn’t make it a “higher end gun (military or police)”...and how can you tell the barrel is threaded for a suppressor (no such thing as a silencer)? (Note: I’m viewing the pic from a phone, quite grainy when I enlarge it)

No way of telling whether the pistol is genuine or an air-soft replica from the photos..normally when cops take pics of weapons here they remove the mag and ammo, which they haven’t this time.

Either way, this Russkis fucked :thumb:

Usually nothing serious happens in Kep, the gay Russian lawyer with a kink for army guys and weed will be the topic of choice for the next few months I bet. The weed/gun combination is going to really put him in a bad spot in front of the judge even if didn't commit any violence or drug sales.

@Luigi... yea, while people and companies like to use the term silencer, it is an incorrect term because it does not silence the weapon, it only reduces the noise signature (muzzle report) and visible flash generated by the gun’s firing.

The only way to get a sound like in the movies is by using a specially designed gun (like the
welrod mk ii a) with subsonic bullets.

I think the insulation tape is holding the plastic handle together.

It appears to be a grinder.

The gun looks fake to me, the holes on the slide is the giveaway. Who knows if theyll even charge him for it. What is this guys story?

Articlke in the Khmer Times (which spells his name incorrectly):
Russian man detained for wearing military uniform
Pav Suy

Police in Kep province arrested a Russian national for using and wearing Cambodian military garb in Kep commune on Wednesday, according to local police.

Commune deputy police chief Chim Sothea said the Russian, identified as Viasov Ilya, 37, was arrested at his rental room on Wednesday while he was wearing a Cambodian military uniform.

“We cooperated with the town police and officers from the provincial police’s immigration bureau to arrest him because he was found illegally wearing the military uniform,” he said.

Mr Sothea said he did not get fully involved in the operation because there was a language barrier, so the Russian was sent to district police for further investigation.

Thou Vanthol, deputy district police chief in charge of immigration, said the Russian said he was a veteran military officer who had a leg injury from military service and uses marijuana to ease the pain.

“We are questioning him at the office. We don’t know what his purpose is yet for wearing the Cambodian uniform because the investigation is ongoing,” he said.

Police also seized handcuffs and a walkie-talkie, according to Mr Vanthol.

“He only told us that he used to serve in the military,” he added.
