Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On February 12, 2019 at 09:30 pm, the Cambodian drug police sent a 45-year-old Korean man, KIM SEONGHOON, to the Department of Immigration to be deported for cross-border drug trafficking from Cambodia to Korea.

Kim was arrested on 17 December 2018 and has been detained in Phnom Penh since his arrest. However, he doesn't seem to have appeared in court in Cambodia on drug trafficking charges, but instead will apparently be deported to South Korea for the Korean authorities to deal with.

Very bizarre. Where are the drugs nicely arranged into a number showing how many packages were found? Where is the photo of the perp with the drugs, various mobile phones, currency, and 27 coppers? Why is he quietly deported? So many questions......
