Finnish Man Held for No Passport and Causing Confusion in Public

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. 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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Cambodia Breaking News(Phnom Penh): On July 15, 2019, at 17:00, the Phnom Penh Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office received a foreigner, a 26-year-old Finnish male, from the Phnom Penh police force at Veal Vorn Station, Khan 7 Makara, Phnom Penh. He was taken into custody for not having a passport and causing confusion in public. He is named by the authorities as SEPPO VELI PERRERI KALLIOINEN, and he appears to be slightly wounded on his right arm.

On questioning by the immigration officials, the man said that he arrived in Cambodia on 7 May 2019 at the Bavet border post with Vietnam. He said that this is his second visit to Cambodia.
Currently the man has no passport, and he has been sent to the Department of Immigration to carry out the proceedings of the law.

Taken into custody for not having a passport.

That implies the young man should have been carrying one on his person, or am I reading that incorrectly?

Causing confusion in public? What was he doing... driving and obeying the 'rules of the road'?

I got some food delivered on the weekend, it came to $14, I gave the guy $15, he proceeded to use the calculator on his phone to figure out the change.
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

[Note from CEO News: He is named by the authorities as SEPPO VELL PERRERI KALLIONEN, but this is obviously not correct. Update to follow when we have his full name.]
Do these people really have no passport or visa or is it that they did not have it on them when asked for it.
I don't carry mine every time I leave the house so am I a possible CEO star of the future???

I don't believe anyone is required to carry a passport but they should be able to show one from their house when requested. This guy probably lost his way back.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

causing confusion in public
Probably something to do with the bandage on his arm. He got into a fight or attacked an ATM or something.
