Pheng Kunthea Borey, former protocol chief for Senate President Chea Sim, leaves the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in October. The corruption trial against four former high-ranking members of Senate president Chea Sim’s inner coterie accused of engineering scams involving hundreds of millions of dollars will begin next week, a court official said yesterday.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court judge Te Sam Ang said the trial against the four – accused of defrauding at least 51 foreign companies in scams that date back almost a decade – would commence on Tuesday.
“So far, their cases have been completely investigated. They will be put on trial on December 20,” he said yesterday.
Chea Sim’s former chief of protocol, Pheng Kunthea Borey, is accused of masterminding the scams – allegedly charging companies to secure the Senate president’s signature for a number of fake humanitarian and development projects.
