Phnom Penh Municipal Court (PPMC) has retired to consider a case in which an ex-vice judge of the PPMC allegedly pocketed US$135,000 since 2004, according to Chaing Sinat, a prosecutor, on Wednesday.

The accused, Sam Sokaun was previously punished with a fine of US$13,000, the non-payment of which will result in a jail term, a source said.

The ex-judge allegedly cheated US$135,000 from Interior Ministry Official Haing Kong, 57. Haing Kong and Grand Power were both involved in the contract but Sam Sokaun was convicted of embezzling funds.

Sam Sokaun was ejected from the Ministry of Justice for his wrong doings but he transferred to the Vocational Training Lawyer Center.
