SRP MP Mu Sochua indicated that the intervention made by Heng Xamrin, the president of the National Assembly (NatAss), and by Ang Von Vattana, the minister of Justice, for Mrs. Dy Prim, Hun Xen’s cousin, in a corruption case a few months ago is coming out to light. She indicated that if such intervention takes place in any democratic countries, those who intervene would be sacked from their position.
Mrs. Mu Sochua, who is currently demanding that the NatAss returns her parliamentary immunity after all her fine had been paid off to Hun Xen in full since November 2010, told the Free Press Magazine (FPM) this morning that: “The interventions by the [two] leaders [above] in a corruption case is contrary to the rule of law and it is a dangerous and serious bias.” She added: “This type of people should not be left in the justice system, they should be removed. I regret that Mr. Ang Vong Vattana, who used to live in France, takes this kind of action, this is a violation of the [professional] ethics.”
Seng Yean, an official for the inspection division and parliament relation, and Mrs. Dy Prim, Hun Xen’s cousin on his mother side, were accused of corruption by accepting $200,000 [? The FPM reported only $20, a typo] from residents in Dangkao district, Phnom Penh city, in a land dispute case. The two were charged with corruption by the court, but the legal case has dragged in court for several years already. Recently, Heng Xamrin and Ang Vong Vattana sent letters to Hun Xen, trying to butter him up [by intervening for his cousin], asking the latter to drop the charges against Seng Yean and Dy Prim. Meanwhile, in the case of Mrs. Mu Sochua whose legal case concluded since November 2010, Ang Von Vattana never sent any letter to the NatAss to return her immunity back to her yet.
