The well-connected chief of Battambang province’s military police, accused of collecting tens of thousands of dollars from illegal gamblers and of framing supposed drug dealers, has been promptly cleared following an official denial. A document released by the Anti-Corruption Unit on Tuesday said that unnamed complainants had filed a suit against Por Vannak for taking up to $10,000 per month from local gamblers in exchange for their immunity.

Vannak was also accused of ordering his inferiors to frame local youth for dealing drugs, then threatening them into paying $1,000 to $5,000 for their freedom following their arrest. However, Por Vannak – whose son, Por Vannith, is married to a daughter of national military police chief Sao Sokha and is the head of military police in neighbouring Siem Reap province – wrote a letter to the ACU in October denying all the allegations, and is now cleared.
