Foreigner busted for meth?

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.

Ok thanks. Maybe she is using the wrong word then. The May Tee Vee will decide how much she has to pay for the bike. If the barang coughs up cash, she'll pay 200. If he doesn't have the money, she'll pay 500.
She described the May Tee Vee as a uniformed gendarme. Maybe she's usin the wrong word as I doubt she'd be discussing that with a lawyer at all. She's not even under arrest.

Guess he doesn't have the money after all, once it's in the news you're fucked. Although it could be a different guy as I wouldn't be surprised if they arrested/caught/stung/blackmailed at least one barang there per night. 10k$ is pretty steep though, another sign of the times.

The Lebanese man lives in Sweden and graduated from the American University of Beruit in 2010 where he studied Petroleum Studies, so he doesn't have the profile of a classic GSM case. From his FB page he looks well-traveled.

All the GSM mongers look well travelled too. Certainly well worn. Plus all that time with the SAS, foreign legion, Seals etc is sure to add a few stamps to the passport.

No,, that's cheap. The death sentence is steep. So lets take the middle road for drug pushers and say 20 years .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

How is he a drug pusher? That's just a tiny deal. Besides that the death sentence was abolished here almost 3 decades ago. At least officially.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

He's only got a couple of bags of weed and a few rocks. He looks more like a holiday drug-taker than a hardcore meth man. In fact, he looks really straight. This will probably come as a shock to his family and friends back home.
Seems that nobody warned him about GSM.
