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.

Obviously the bar for becoming a hotel manager has been lowered considerably since I went to Swiss hotel school back in the day.

The victim is not a tourist, he is Mario Maehlmeyer, founder of Centurion Consulting in Siem Reap, providing business consulting and skills training.

Why in the world would a Serb, a Slovak, and an Indian gang up to break his leg?

They were either fighting over the last ladyboy in the bar or the dregs of a warm 50 cent angkor beer.


Probly both.

It might be connected to his business interests. Mr Maehlmeyer's company, Centurion Consulting Cambodia, looks to have been set up as recently as 2018. There is little traffic on the company Facebook page, where they have a total of 14 Likes and 13 Followers.

Looks like the German guy got a glass shoved in his mouth. That's mean fighting that you wouldn't expect from a Siem Reap hotel manager and his friends.
Nice crowd hanging out in SR these days. :plus1: Just saying that because I'm in Sihanoukville.

The name of the company is also similar enough to be confused with several other business consulting companies. Again, this is not a crime, but this is a common ploy by scammers: In order to confuse potential clients, they set up a company with a name that resembles another existing company - in this case, there are several consulting companies with similar names to Centurion Consulting Cambodia.
The German guy got glassed and had his leg broken and you're offering rank speculation that it's because he's a scammer? Christ. That's mean. His business Facebook page doesn't have a lot of likes, so what. Maybe he's a failed businessman. That's not a reason to glass a guy.

Intellectual property laws in Western countries prevent people from opening businesses with confusing names. They also prevent businesses from copying the content of other businesses without attribution and passing it off as their own. I don't know if you mean to lump all such businesses under the "scammy" label.
