Police Chief Admits Wife Is Timber Smuggler.

A sad story about a police chief whose family are timber smugglers, even though he told them not to do this:

Police Chief Admits Wife Is Timber Smuggler

A Toyota SUV and the load of illegally logged luxury wood found inside it on Monday belong to the wife of a district police chief in Tbong Khmum province, according to local officials, who say they have no intention of taking action against the couple...

[Memot district Police chief] Mr. Kimhoeun said the car belonged to the family of his counterpart in neighboring Dambe district, police chief Teng Eng Hak.

“Mr. Eng Hak once told me that he was worried because he works as a police officer, stopping crime, but that his wife and children are in the timber business,” he said. “The police chief told his wife and children many times not to engage in illegal business, but they didn’t listen to him.”

Mr. Kimhoeun said it was up to the Forestry Administration to prosecute the family. Mr. Boulina said it was too soon to point fingers.

“I still haven’t received a report identifying the owner of the car and the wood,” he said. “We are investigating to find the people involved.”

But Mr. Eng Hak said it was no mystery. “The car and wood belong to my wife, but I’m not involved in the wood business,” he said before hanging up on reporters.

It must be embarrassing to admit publicly that your wife doesn't listen to you. Poor police chief. 8)
