FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Phnom Penh police chief Touch Naruth confirmed that a French national was
arrested “about two weeks ago” but declined to give details,
saying only the arrest was made “with the co-operation of China”.
“We are considering whether to send him to China or France. China has
demanded he be sent to China because he committed offences there,” he
told AFP.
Devillers’
connection to the Bo family drama remains unclear but in an
interview with French daily Le Monde last month he denied allegations of any
wrongdoing.
Devillers, 52, who is believed to have left China in 2005, also told the
newspaper that his old acquaintance Heywood, who was found dead in a hotel
room in Chongqing in November, was “a noble soul”.
According to the New York Times, Devillers was hired by Bo, mayor of the
Chinese city of Dalian in the 1990s, to carry out architectural work.
And in 2000, Devillers and Gu set up an architectural firm together, the US
daily reported in May, noting that the pair put down the same residential
address in Bournemouth, southeast England, in their paperwork.
The scandal surrounding Bo and Gu, which first came to light in February and
made worldwide headlines, has exposed deep divisions within the Communist
Party ahead of a crucial, once-in-a-decade leadership transition, analysts
say.
Bo was a member of the powerful Politburo and had been tipped for promotion to
the nine-member Politburo Standing Committee, China’s most powerful
political body, during the leadership transition.
But his hopes of winning a spot on the body were ended by his fall from grace,
which began when his former right-hand man and police chief Wang Lijun fled
to a nearby US consulate to seek asylum, after reportedly confronting Bo
with information related to the murder of Heywood.
News of Devillers’ arrest comes just a week after He Guoqiang, a member of the
Politburo Standing Committee, paid a visit to Phnom Penh during which
multi-million dollar infrastructure deals were signed.
It is unclear whether there is any link between the “goodwill” visit
and Devillers’ arrest. Phnom Penh is a close ally of China and Cambodian
Prime Minister Hun Sen regularly praises Beijing’s no-strings-attached aid.
China is Cambodia’s largest bilateral creditor and its biggest foreign
investor, with hundreds of Chinese companies pumping billions of dollars
into the impoverished country in recent years.
In 2009, Cambodia was widely criticised for deporting 20 Uighur asylum seekers
to China, a move that was quickly followed by a 1.2-billion-dollar aid and
loan package from Beijing. China rejected accusations of a link between the
two.
