French Expat, Georges Freddy Thomas, Accused of Theft in Kampot

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.

I think I would put a valuation of somewhere between twenty thousand and thirty thousand US dollars on that belly.

Hello,
Thank you for replying,
Can we find out for how long he is sentenced??

What happens to him when he leaves prison, will he be forced to leave the country.?

He has abandoned his house (uninhabitable condition), which is in urgent need of repair and risks damaging my property.

Cordialement,

The house will probably fall down before he's out, could be a few years.

If he's got no money to get out now, I doubt he'll have money ro repair that house.

Seems to be some gaps in this narrative.
The op says he was arrested.
When was the trial? Or is he in prison awaiting trial?
Was he convicted? If so, what was the sentence?
& etc...

This guy's actions and his tummy are both fascinating. Money to repair the house is peanuts though, compared to what he'll have to pay in both back property taxes and penalties. The property will probably be confiscated and demolished since he put all that money into his tummy instead.

Hello,
Thanks for keeping this thread going.
I live in Central France and the house of Thomas George Freddi Michils which is attached to mine is still degrading.

I need to reach a decision and would buy the wreck to save my own house.

He was a thief here and got into all sorts of trouble.
Is it possible to contact or write to the prison?
How long is provisional detention, and how long is the prison term for theft??

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Cordialement,
