Chhoeun Chanthan, Senate President Chea Sim’s former chief bodyguard, was charged with four criminal offences yesterday at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court and then sent to detention at the military court for possible questioning on a different offence.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court judge Sem Sakola questioned Chhoeun Chanthan for about four hours yesterday in relation to allegedly forged documents and the illegal possession of weapons.
Meas Chanpiseth, deputy prosecutor at the court, told journalists outside the courtroom that Chhoeun Chanthan had been charged with four criminal offences after two days of questioning: illegal possession of weapons, illegally issuing weapon licences, forging public documents and using forged public documents. If convicted on all four counts, Chhoeun Chanthan could face up to 25 years in prison and more than US$5,000 in fines.
Chhoeun Chanthan’s defence attorney Hol Sina declined to comment on the case yesterday.

WOW, that was a very rapid judicial process we're having here, the was arrested a few days ago, now he sentenced to 25 years in prison. Was he given a trial?, very phenomenon.
This is call speedy jail trial. He got almost the same lengths of sentence as "Duch" the guy killed 14,000 peoples when he managed the S21 site. There are so many forge document in the country especially folk dealing with selling real estate. Many people lost properties because the cousin forged signature and signed by the bribed connected officials. The government should spend time on real estate forge documentation and prosecute those violators. This guy still smile after 25 years sentence. what is going on? is this for real or fake sentence?

Yes, he has been charge, but has not been convicted. However, if he were to get convicted, please refer to the above sentence, he will serve up to 25 years.
