Cambodian PM heads huge business empire


Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen releases birds in front of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh (AFP) - Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen and his family have built a multi-million-dollar business empire spanning the impoverished country's most lucrative sectors, a watchdog said Thursday, warning foreign investors against bankrolling his regime.

Hun Sen, a former Khmer Rouge commander who defected from the bloody regime, has dominated Cambodia's political scene during a 31-year reign marred by accusations of corruption, electoral fraud and rampant rights abuses.
