Chinese in Court for 18kgs Drugs Posted From Germany
September 18, 2019
Foreigners accused of shipping ecstasy pills via post office
Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday began the trial of two Chinese nationals accused of shipping more than 18 kilograms of ecstasy pills from Germany through a post office in Phnom Penh last year.
Ek Polofil, Presiding Judge, identified the two as Chang Sih Shun, 41-year-old general manager of a garment factory, and Hua Yu Cheng, a 37-year-old tourist.
Judge Polofil said they were charged with drug trafficking after they were arrested on July 10, 2018, by the Interior Ministry’s internal police department in the city. If convicted, they could face a life sentence in prison.
Deputy court prosecutor Say Nora yesterday said internal security police last year intercepted two boxes at the Daun Penh Post Office weighing 20 kilograms each. The shipments were sent from Germany.
Upon opening the boxes and inspecting their contents, internal security police discovered 18.41 kilograms of ecstasy pills hidden.
Mr Nora noted the boxes were addressed to Chhean Sokpov, alias Heng, but the phone number listed was Mr Chang’s.
He said Mr Sokpov was a Chinese language interpreter for the two suspects.
Mr Nora said police collaborated with the Phnom Penh Municipal Court prosecutor and post office workers to apprehend the suspects.
He said the post office workers were told to contact Mr Chang and have him pick up the shipments at 2pm that same day.
Mr Nora said Mr Chang told Mr Hua of the shipments and both men picked up Mr Sokpov from his home in Chamkar Mon district before showing up at the post office at 3pm.
“While at the post office, Mr Chang and Mr Hua asked Mr Sokpov to fill documents under their names because they did not speak or write in Khmer,” he said, adding that Mr Hua and Mr Chang left the post office. “While Mr Sokpov was with a post office worker to receive the shipments, both suspects left. Mr Sokpov was told by Mr Hua on the phone to bring the shipments to them.”
Mr Nora said Mr Sokpov was arrested after completing the forms and questioned by police.
He said Mr Sokpov collaborated with police to apprehend Mr Chang and Mr Hua.

Foreigners sentenced to life over postal ecstasy shipment
Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Friday sentenced two Chinese nationals to life in prison after they were found guilty of importing 18 kilograms of ecstasy from Germany via the post office last year.
Judge Ek Polofil identified the two as 41-year-old Chang Sih Shun and 37-year-old Hua Yu Cheng. Both men were arrested on July 10, 2018.
Judge Polofil said Mr Chang, general manager of a Chinese-owned garment factory, and Mr Hua, a tourist, were found guilty of drug transporting and trafficking.
“Although they denied the allegations, saying they were not traffickers nor the owners of the drugs seized, they did not provide evidence to convince the court to have the charges dropped,” he said. “Therefore, the court has decided to convict and sentence them to life in prison. They are also ordered to pay 50 million riels [$12,000 each] to be put in the state’s coffers.”
Say Nora, deputy court prosecutor, previously said internal security police in June last year intercepted two boxes at the Daun Penh Post Office weighing 20 kilograms each. The shipments were sent from Germany.
Upon opening the boxes and inspecting their contents, internal security police discovered 18.41 kilograms of ecstasy pills hidden inside.
