Officials and villagers at Ta Lath village of Sesan District in Stung Treng province have reported that 50 cubic timbers illegally logged timbers are reported to have been owned by a powerful businessman named Mr. Hun Samnang, who claims to be a relative of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
An anonymous official told Radio Free Asia that 40 cubic metres of illegal timbers have already been bought by this powerful businessman and another 10 cubic metres has been bought on Friday. He said: "Yesterday they bought 40 cubic mentres and today they bought another 10 cubic metres and they hoarded those timbers in the areas. Hun Samnang was the one who is involved in this affair."
Officials based in the areas said that hundreds of high quality timbers have been illegally logged in Phnom Krola Poss and Phnom Krohorm adjoining Sesan District and Sieng Pang District and were ready to be transported to Vietnam through Snoul Border Pass in Kratie province.
Chief of Ta Lath commune, Mr. Soeung Khorng, said that he has no power to stop these illegal loggings because a powerful businessman was behind these loggings.

every illegal logging now is linked to hun sen because without hun sen, in cambodian no one can do anything. all hun sen's family members and his corrupt cronies can do whatever they want, including illegal activities.
This is why HUNSEN, and all of his family got so much money...from drugs trafficking, human trafficking, illegal logging! these are the most corrupted people in the country....
Lighning will strike the bad guy!
Or People power will rise soon!!!!
ឧក្រឹដ្ឋកម្មកន្លងមក នៅប្រទេសខ្មែរ !!
crimes in Cambodia
This freaking Hun Samnang is destroying natural beauty of the country. He does not care and understand the downside of the people that live in the area as long as he can earn the money and becomes rich. On the other hands, Hun Sen can’t see that far with one eye especially when it comes to his relatives. Deforestation will never cease until these devils go to HELL.
4:12Am Ah kwack can smell the money like dog smell shit!
Ah keack just the leader of corruptions and all criminal in Cambodia!
Mother fuc ker has more than one hats!
Agree with 4:12! when it comes to his relatives Ah KWANGHUN close his eye and shut his mouth..and of course he knew what's going on, and what they'r up to! these motherfucker...i swear man!
All activities in cambodia, including illegal activities like illegal logging, gambling and drug running, are all linked to hun sen's family. cambodian natural resources and the environment have been destroyed by hun sen's family in a grand scale.
What's a big deal?
Logging happens everywhere!
