Phnom Penh - The former head of Cambodia's anti-drugs department who was arrested this month faces a life sentence after the government accused him of masterminding a drugs-selling ring from his office, local media reported Monday.
General Mok Dara was arrested shortly after a number of other senior officials were held on suspicion of corruption and drugs offences.
"They used the anti-drug department as a network for selling drugs," Om Yentieng, the head of the government's Anti-Corruption Unit, told The Phnom Penh Post newspaper, accusing Mok Dara and a number of other officials currently facing trial.
"Under the new penal code, a person who sells drugs will be sentenced to life in prison," Om Yentieng was quoted as saying.
