PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA'S new anti-corruption unit announced its first arrests on Wednesday as one of the world's most corrupt nations tries to prove it is serious about fighting rampant graft.
Top Chan Sereivuth, a prosecutor at a court in western Pursat province, was arrested along with his two bodyguards on Monday, said the chief of the country's anti-corruption unit.
'He (the prosecutor) was charged with corruption, the illegal detention of people and extortion,' Om Yentieng told reporters in the capital. 'He abused his power,' he added.
The bodyguards face charges of illegal detention and extortion.
The three suspects allegedly detained two men and extorted thousands of dollars from them in an incident in June, said Om Yentieng, who is also a top adviser to Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Authorities are still hunting for a fourth suspect, the prosecutor's brother-in-law who is believed to play key role in the case, he added.

it doesn't matter, a corruption is a corruption, small or big, still a corruption. it's the stealing that's the law in targeting, we don't care how small or big the corruption is, they all will be punished and put in jail and put on the tv so the country and the world can see their faces of the corrupted people. make them all pay for it if they have the will to be corrupted. don't give they any more excuses! enough already! they are hurting the country!
people in cambodia seems to think once they have power, they can keep it forever, or someting! not true anymore, because the corrupt power they have now, will not last forever, you know! reason, cambodia changes and people will demand changes for good. hey, it's not like the dark ages, ok!
