geovalin Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 A former Banteay Meanchey provincial police officer has been arrested and sent to court after filing a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Unit accusing the provincial police chief of corruption and threatening behavior. Sret Sopheak, former chief of staff at the provincial police headquarters, alleged that police chief Sithi Loh had made threatening phone calls, used violence against police officers, and was corrupt. Sopheak filed his complaint to the ACU on March 18. The provincial police, in turn, issued a statement accusing the complainant of corruption. In a letter, the police force alleged that Sopheak had defrauded many people, took more than $111,800 to process paperwork, and had previously been brought before the National Police disciplinary council, leading to his termination in 2021. Sopheak then posted a video on Facebook to apologize. His accusations against the police chief were a misunderstanding, he said. “What I wrote, what I said really hurt the Banteay Meanchey provincial police commissioner Sithi Loh. So I publicly apologize,” he said in the video clip. Banteay Meanchey Provincial Court spokesperson Samrith Sokhon said on Friday that Sopheak had been arrested and was now being questioned in court. read more https://vodenglish.news/ex-police-officer-files-corruption-complaint-against-force-gets-arrested/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
