BANGKOK, Dec 8 (TNA) – Siwarak Chutipong, the employee of Cambodia Air Traffic Services (CATS) charged with espionage in Cambodia, pleaded not guilty at his trial on spy charges.
He faces 15 years imprisonment if he is found guilty.
Mr Siwarak, 31 went on trial, attended by his mother and Thai diplomats.
The defendant testified that he was contacted by a brother of his friend Kamrob Palawatwichai, first secretary of the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, asking about the flight schedule of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Mr Siwarak went to his office and received a copy of the flight information from his Cambodian colleague but didn’t give that copy to anyone, but that he left it at his office.
He said Mr Thaksin's arrival in Cambodia had already been reported by the media 30 minutes before he confirmed the arrival to Mr Kamrob.
