Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On February 10, 2022, according to the statement issued by the Municipal Court of Phnom Penh, Oknha Duong Ngiep was sued for allegedly selling fake real estate properties worth 7,305,000 USD to 2 Taiwanese clients, Chih Yu Yen, and Yao Ching King.
The case dates back to November 4, 2020,when the Taiwanese victims first sued the Oknha, who eventually agreed to settle the complaint by paying with 3 checks on June 21, 2021. However, when the victims tried to cash the checks, they were told that there was no money in the account and the checks were worthless.

Duke Duong Ngiep has now been been placed under house arrest for contempt of court, for not coming up with the deposit ordered by Phnom Penh Court, and he has been banned from using social media where he was attempting to manipulate public opinion by proclaiming that he was an innocent victim of Phnom Penh Court in this case.

If any invested can get hold of $7 million then I’d bet they’ve got a lot more in reserves, more than he’s got.
Silly man.

Chhay* is the son of an immigration police official and property magnate Duong Ngiep, who was also made an oknha sometime in the past. He also has a road named after him, in Phnom Penh’s Stung Meanchey district. However, in December 2019, Ngiep was among the 36 National Police officers who had their honorific titles removed as part of an apparent bid by the government to riffle out potential conflicts of interest within the police and military. By this time, in 2019, he had risen to deputy secretary-general of the Interior Ministry’s general secretariat, a rather important position that put him in charge of personnel and promotions. Was it a demotion? Probably not. The Duong family was again offered up by HE as an example of change.

Exactly what the Duong clan has done to make their fortune is unclear. Chhay is referred to as a property tycoon, but he isn’t mentioned as a director of any company in the country’s business records, nor is his father. Only Kimlong, Chhay’s brother and the one charged with the pistol-whipping in 2013, is listed as the founder and director of DNG Group, a firm in the construction sector and which is presumably the front for the family’s property empire.

From the Khmer Times:

Ngiep issued three cheques, Number 145577, valued at $1,650,000; Number 213987, valued at $3,655,000; and Number 132788, valued at $2,000,000 to the plaintiffs.

Imagine writing a check for $3.6 million?

When there was the OLD LIRA in Italy we would earn millions every month..not too long ago.

Don’t mention the war.

The Phnom Penh Court officials dealing with this case are unhappy because Oknha Duong Ngeap has been accusing them of corruption. The judge has set bail at US$5.3M.

Court sends tycoon Duong Ngeap to pre-trial detention on fraud charge after claim of judicial corruption

Duong Ngeap seen February 8 speaking on social media as he requested Prime Minister HE for help with his legal troubles. Ngeap was arrested February 14.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Monday decided to place tycoon Duong Ngeap, a three-star general with the Ministry of Interior, in pre-trial detention as he faces a charge of fraud.

Court spokesman Y Rin told CamboJA the court ordered Ngeap detained at PJ prison but did not comment further. Phnom Penh Municipal Police chief Sar Thet confirmed the tycoon was arrested on Monday morning in line with a court warrant.

The arrest came a week after Ngeap made a live video accusing Phnom Penh Municipal Court judges of corruption while they pressed charges against him for allegedly defrauding Taiwanese investors.

In the video clip, he called on Prime Minister HE for help, claiming he is suffering from injustice.

“I have been charged indistinctly by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, turning [the case] from white color to the black,” he said. “Once I appear in court, I pay the money. … I am required to deposit $5 million in exchange for release on bail.”

“Now that I have run out of money, I have no choice but to walk into the prison on my own.”

A court spokesman on February 10 issued a statement to refute Ngeap’s allegations of corruption. But the statement did confirm the investigating judge had granted the defendant bail on the condition he deposit more than $5.3 million in exchange for not being detained, a deal he had refused. The statement also pointed out the tycoon had been sued by two Taiwanese investors for fraud related to real estate projects in Phnom Penh.

The Phnom Penh Court in September also issued a letter to Interior Minister Sar Kheng seeking an investigation of Ngeap for fraud and forgery of public documents allegedly committed in 2018.
