Anti-Corruption Unit says no evidence for Bavet checkpoint graft claims
Cambodia’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) has been unable to find evidence corroborating claims that a Health Ministry official has been demanding bribes to allow vehicles to cross the Bavet International Checkpoint in Svay Rieng province, it said in a report obtained on 13 October.
Dated 9 October and posted to the ACU’s website, the report says that Ngau Sokha, a Health Ministry official stationed at the checkpoint to inspect imports and exports of animals, had been accused of soliciting bribes from tourist buses and container trucks crossing the checkpoint.
