A Cambodian government official has described allegations made by Australian media group Fairfax Media as “baseless” and untrue after its investigation claimed that Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family received a large payment in 2010 from Australian gaming firm Tabcorp, which was exploring the possibility of obtaining a gaming licence at the time.

The investigation findings, published yesterday in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, claimed that in 2010 Tabcorp wired A$200,000 to a company “linked to the sister of Prime Minister Hun Sen,” via an unnamed Cambodian consultant in the United States.

It said the firm, which was then headed by Elmer Funke Kupper – currently CEO and managing director of the firm that operates Australia’s primary stock exchange – eventually did not go through with setting up sports betting operations in Cambodia.
