Prince Norodom Ranariddh has lost a court battle over the ownership of a colonial-era mansion to the owners of the FCC, giving them permission to develop the site, which they currently operate under the name Le Mansion. Phnom Penh Municipal Court ruled Saturday that the house, located on Sothearos Boulevard, would be leased to the company on a 99-year contract. But Ranariddh's spokesman Chea Chanboribo disputed the ruling, saying that Prime Minister Hun Sen certified the house as the prince's property in a 2005 letter. "The Prince lost his case the same way as many Cambodian people who have their land grabbed by the powerful," he said.
