An executive of Samart Corps is already in Phnom Penh to take care of its Thai engineer who was arrested for allegedly spying. Samart Corps' President Watchai Vilailuck said Friday that Charoenrath Vilaluck, the company's chief executive officer, is assigned to help Siwalak Chothipong, an engineer of an engineer of Cambodia Air Traffic Services (Cats), who was arrested on Wednesday for "stealing" the flight information of ex-Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra and Cambodia's PM Hun Sen.

Cats, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samart Corps, has been operating air traffic services in Cambodia under a government concession.

Charoenrath flied to Phnom Penh on Thursday upon learning the arrest, Watchai said, adding Thai embassy in Phnom Penh had already been informed.
