"No one else has been apprehended for the crash, but Yoeung Baloung is now back in prison."
The prison department of the Ministry of Interior has finished an investigation into the mysterious release of a former provincial police chief in Ratanakkiri province but has declined to release the findings, which are under review.
The investigation stems from a drunk driving accident that injured three people on a motorcycle.
Local rights group Adhoc says the driver in the accident was Yoeung Baloung, a former police chief who was supposed to be in jail serving 13 years for corruption crimes surrounding illegal logging. Police say a relative of the former chief was driving the car.
No one else has been apprehended for the crash, but Yoeung Baloung is now back in prison, officials said.
The prison department is trying to learn the circumstances of his release by the provincial prison, whose director has said Yoeung Baloung was temporarily let out for medical reasons.

Oum YEN TIEN’ S ANTI-CORRUPTION LAW
Here how it works:
STEP 1:
Any ministers suspected of being corrupted, will be made to sit in circle and play "Leark Kan Sehnh" (hiding the scarf)
-If the ball of scarf is dropped behind one of the suspect and he doesn't realize it, that means he is guilty...but if he doesn't admit it, he will be made to go to step 2.
STEP 2 :
- The suspect is made to play " Pav Jin Soum". If he wins, he is not guilty but if he lost, he is guilty.
And if he still doesn't want to admit it, he will be made to go to step 3.
STEP 3:
- The suspect is made to take an oath by " Thpork Kone Dai" (Hook up the finger) and swear that he is not a corrupted minister and will be promoted to a higher position after give Oum Yin Teang $ 75,000.00
corruption is almost like a culture, not just gov't, everybody likes to cheat! no wonder it is hard to enforce the law lightly without being labeled human rights abuse, etc...! some people learn it the hard way, i think!
