geovalin Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Three journalists and a driver were arrested Thursday while purportedly investigating a motorbike seller for selling vehicles without tax certificates, but were later released. Kok Kimthong, publisher of news website Neak Meas, said he went with the four people and some other journalists to the motorbike shop in Kampong Chhnang city on April 9 to check whether it was really selling motorbikes without tax certificates. Kimthong said a local resident had told him about buying a motorbike but later getting stopped by police and being told it had no tax certification. The store owner told them at the time that he sold both certified and uncertified motorbikes, and charged more for those with tax certificates. There was no issue at the time, but four people returned to the shop on Thursday. The shop owner asked them to sit and wait for a short while, then police arrived and arrested the four, taking them to provincial police headquarters. They then called Kimthong and told him what had happened, he said. read more https://vodenglish.news/three-journalists-arrested-released-in-kampong-chhnang/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
