Ex-Wife of CPP Lawmaker Gets 18 Months in Prison

THE CAMBODIA DAILY
The ex-wife of a Ministry of Agriculture official was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay $15,000 compensation by Phnom Penh Municipal Court Judge Chhay Kong. Ly Sodalis, the ex-wife of Ith Nody, CPP agriculture ministry undersecretary of state, was found guilty of cheating Huot Chhou out of $15,000. Huot Chhou's lawyer Neang Hay said his client alleged that Ith Nody told him to give the money to Ly Sodalis in exchange for a license—which was never issued—to operate a sawmill. Charges against Ith Nody, who has denied receiving the bribe, were dropped Tuesday. Ly Sodalis has been in Prey Sar since 2002, serving time for an unrelated charge; she maintains that she gave the money to her husband. Ith Nody could not be reached for comment.

Once his wife goes to jail, this CPP man will get another woman.
Yeahh the women in Cambodia are being treated like junks. With the monkey court like Cambodia and Malaysia the guilty ones go free.
