SA KAEO :Cambodian authorities will wait for the Supreme Court's verdict on the charge of corruption against veteran politician Vatana Asavahame before considering whether to take action and send him back to Thailand.
The charge involves Mr Vatana's role in the Klong Dan wastewater treatment project.
Their decision was unveiled by deputy police chief Pol Gen Jongrak Juthanont after a three-hour meeting yesterday with Nest Serey, a Cambodian envoy in Sa Kaeo, and Col Tum Saret, deputy chief of the Cambodian-Thai coordination office.
Thailand needs to request Cambodia to send back Mr Vatana, who was reportedly last seen there, because the two countries have no joint extradition treaty. He is required to appear before the judge, who will read the verdict on August 18.
Mr Vatana owns two casinos in the Cambodian border town of Poi Pet, opposite Aranyaprathet district in Sa Kaeo.
