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.
