CAMBODIA NEWS: Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday began questioning a businessman from Kosovo who allegedly cheated his Cambodian business partner out of $20 million earmarked for luxurious resorts in Kep and Kampot provinces.

Court spokesman Ly Sophanna identified the suspect as Denis Cokovic, alias Denis Deney, 54.

What's the Khmer script say? "Man bun here"?
"Life is too important to take seriously."

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."

Phnom Penh (FN), July 25 - Denis Cokovic, also known as Denis Deny, 54, was detained Friday for amidst allegations of fraud and conspiracy to commit illegal activities as far back as 2016.
The victim, a wife of a senior government official, filed a lawsuit against Cokovic after she invested $20M in resort projects he claimed to be building in Kep and Kampot.
The plaintiff became suspicious of the scheme after the project failed to materialize and Cokovic requested an additional $4M in funds.

It looks quite probable that the development scheme in question is the one referred to in this thread from October 2016. The wife of a senior minister got the red-light for a huge development worth $23.2B between Kep and Kampot in dubious circumstances.
post146939.html?hilit=Pallas#p146939
Several subordinates of a senior minister within the office of the prime minister have registered and rubber-stamped a gargantuan $23.2 billion investment project chaired by the minister’s wife, while officials in the know say the project stands little chance of getting off the ground.

According to Ministry of Commerce records, Pallas was founded in November 2015, with Kim Hourn’s wife Khem Rany as its chairperson. Those same records give the company’s registered address as the University of Cambodia, where Kim Hourn is president.
