geovalin Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The Supreme Court yesterday held a trial in absentia of two South Koreans who were sentenced by the Siem Reap Provincial Court on October 1 last year to two years in jail each for attempting to bring into Cambodia $2,200,000 in cash in July 2019. The seized cash was ordered to be put in the State budget together with the $15,000 fine each imposed by the lower court. Judge Chaing Sinath identified the two accused as Song Hyunhoo, 46; and Yoon Wongi, 34; both South Koreans working in a Korean company based in South Korea. Both men were charged with “laundry” under Articles 23 and 27 of the Law on Anti-Money Laundering and Financing. The two accused could not attend their trial due to the Covid-19 lockdown in Siem Reap and were represented by their lawyer Hun Piseth who told the court that the seized money belonged to a Korean company named “CNC Co LTD” based in South Korea. He said both the accused were employees of the company. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50940919/lawyer-tells-court-that-seized-2-2-mil-belonged-to-south-korean-company/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
