Phnom Penh police are investigating a traffic accident that led authorities to find 200 kg of drugs inside a military pickup truck.
A haul of nearly 2 tons of ketamine and 300 tons of precursors has led prosecutors to pursue money-laundering charges against 11 arrested foreign nationals, a Phnom Penh court spokesperson said.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said Tuesday the people want the CPP to continue to lead the country. Interior Minister Sar Kheng warned the national bank can be blacklisted if authorities didn’t crackdown on money laundering and drug financing.
Police announced the seizure of some 700 kg of ketamine and other drugs, as an anti-drug official said most recent hauls were believed to be headed abroad to Australia, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and other countries.
Interior Minister Sar Kheng refrained from naming specific ministries when he criticized them for allowing large imports of drug precursors, pointing to a recent 100-ton bust.
