Not a bad business model for a high ranking police officer, run a guest house and offer "protection" to its "guests". Too bad he pissed into someone's cornflakes.

I don't think he "pissed in someone's cornflakes" as you put it but i do think he attracted unwanted public scrutiny of his ilk.
So to keep the gravy train running this one has been thrown under it..... appease the torch and pitchfork rabble on facebook and Carry on Regardless. Hmmmm or would the movie be Carry on Cambodia... ? Hattie Jacques as HEs wife... and Barbara Windsor as the KTV girl.

Much better... could be a sequel to Carry on up the Khyber.

Edit to add.... 1968!

For a trip down memory lane.... though watch the opening scene. Seems to pretty much sum up the complaints against our embattled ambassador.

Kandal Deputy Police Chief Suspended Over Unspecified Misconduct

Interior Minister Sar Kheng has temporarily suspended a provincial police official for an unpublicized offense, after the officer was flagged for investigation and then cleared by the Anti-Corruption Unit last year.

Kandal province deputy police chief Sreng Sokha was suspended on Tuesday, according to an Interior Ministry statement, but he was ordered to show up at the ministry office in Phnom Penh every work day until further notice.

The statement noted that the decision came at the request of the National Police.

National Police spokesman Chhay Kim Khoeun said Sokha was suspended over an unspecified offense following an Interior Ministry investigation.

“If the officer had not committed any wrongdoing, he would not have been suspended,” Khim Khoeun told VOD. “It means that he made a mistake related to improper implementation of the National Police force’s 006 order,” he said, without specifying the alleged wrongdoing.

Declaration No. 006 on the Discipline of the National Police Forces outlines sanctions and disciplinary procedures pertaining to police officer misconduct.

Sokha could not be reached for comment, and Interior Ministry officials Khieu Sopheak and Men Bunrith also could not be reached. However, Sopheak told Thmey Thmey on Wednesday that the deputy chief had grabbed more than 40 hectares of land for his personal use and signed for the land under former provincial governor Mao Phirun’s name.

In February 2019, the ACU opened an investigation into Sokha after a widely-shared article claimed he had proposed to a woman, offering a dowry of $100,000 in cash, a diamond ring and a Lexus worth $200,000. Several months later, ACU head Om Yentieng said investigators failed to find any evidence of corruption behind the deputy chief’s apparent wealth.

However, San Chey, executive director of the Affiliated Network for Social Accountability, suggested that even if the ACU had closed its investigation, Sokha’s suspension might still be related to corruption.

The order to arrest Brigadier General Sreng Sokha was issued by Trial Judge Ros Phon Channimol on 29 November 2021. Brigadier General Sreng Sokha, was temporarily suspended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sar Kheng, on 21 April 2020. According to Letter No. 2211, dated 21 April 2020, signed by the Deputy Prime Minister, it is stated that Brigadier General Sreng Sokha, ID 63456, Deputy Commissioner of Kandal Provincial Police has been suspended from his position, and further that he must appear at the Personnel Department every working hour to wait for a new decision.

The suspension comes after Brigadier General Sreng Sokha used the name of Mao Phirun to threaten the high-ranking commune chief by ordering him to sign off the Boeung Toteung Tngay land to him as personal property, thereby expropriating public property. He is also accused of paying a cash bribe to an Undersecretary of State for the position of Deputy Inspector General. However, he ended up being suspended from his post and having an arrest warrant issued against him.
