Two men have been arrested by Cambodian military police in Phnom Penh for allegedly leading a private company into believing it had been granted a huge land concession by using fake signatures of the government's leadership, local press reported Tuesday.
The pair, identified as Hai Cheng, 39, and Mao Bun Theng, 51, reportedly falsified the signatures, official stamps and handwriting of Prime Minister Hun Sen, National Assembly President Heng Samrin, Minister of the Council of Ministers Sok An and Agriculture Minister Chan Sarun, the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported.
The forgeries were made in order to deceive Ing Em development firm into believing it had been granted a 17,000 hectare land concession in Siem Reap province to build an airport and Special Economic Zone, it said.
Posing as middlemen, the pair allegedly prepared the false documents with border markings realistic enough to fool the company into paying them 120,000 U.S. dollars for the service, the Kampuchea Thmey newspaper reported.
However, when the men avoided signing a contract with the company, it grew suspicious and ordered a review of the documentation which revealed the documents were forgeries, the KohSantepheap newspaper reported.
In the false Council of Ministers notification, Sok An was identified as "Senior Minister, Minister in charge of the Council of Ministers" rather than Deputy Prime Minister, the Rasmei Kampuchea report said.
Hai Cheng and Mao Bun Theng were charged Monday and detained byPhnom Penh Municipal Court awaiting further investigation and trial, it said.
Police also found a gun, a two-way radio, three mobile phones, three false identify cards and a number of fake documents during asearch of Hai Cheng's house in Meanchey district on Nov. 24, the Koh Santepheap said.

how many other companies were fooled by them? Probably illegally owning cambodian land right now and evicting the poor based on their falsed documents... investigate to the fullest.
Do you still hope that Hun xen is a good guy?
I all the bad things happen were the fraud? The fucken government is inept!!!!!
These actions reveil the coruption systems in Cambodia. If you see the signatures and you pay the bribe, you can get any thing you want.
The government operates this that why poeple use this method. It is so bad their names alone can take all actions. In real that is the system.
They are the crook in real situation
It could be that they are all in with the plan, including Hun Sen and the officials. Now they they all got the money from the companies, they make this up. These 2 guys may be out of jail secretly.
Two men nabbed for falsifying signatures of top officials on documents (sic).
Two hundred men are roaming free for having good real connection with top officials in Cambodian Government.
Folks make your own calculation of a simple mathematic. Figure the numbers.
No question, Ah Khmer-Yuons are behind most of the scam in Cambodia. Just round them up and send them back to Vietnam.
All Cambodian Government are the world theft, the world fraud, the world corruption that the world ever recorded in the world modern history.
And that's "THE HUN SEN GOVERNMENT"
