A Thai engineered pleaded innocence when he was charged in a Cambodian court Tuesday for allegedly spying, Channel 9 reported.

Sivrak Chutipong told the court that he did not send flight schedules of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to Khamrob Palawatwichai, the first secretary to the Thai embassy in Phnom Phen, as charged.

Siwarak told the court that he knew the secretary two years ago but had not contacted him until Khamrob called him to inquire about Thaksin's flight.

Siwarak admitted that he inquired about Thaksin's flight schedule from a Cambodian co-worker but he did not forward the information to Khamrob.

Channel 9 said the court is scheduled to hand down a ruling at 10 am.
