Villagers who say they were ousted from their land in Koh Kong province after losing a land dispute filed suit against the provincial court on Monday through the national Anti-Corruption Unit.

In their complaint, 32 families from Srey Ambel district say the court ordered in favor of a powerful businessman in 2008 due to falsified documents abetted by five court officials.

Huan Mony, chief of the Koh Kong court and an investigating judge, was among those named in the complaint.

“I don’t know what they are complaining about,” he told VOA Khmer Monday. “I do not understand, because I, the judge, decided the case in conformity only with procedure.”
