Bribe Charged to End Lon Nol Rule in Cambodia
Cambodian leaders claim a $1 million payoff to Lon Nol to quit as Khmer Rouge closed in. Lon Nol resigned two weeks before Phnom Penh fell, fled to Hawaii with his family where he’s guarded by U S Secret Service. Saukham Khoy says the payment helped delay resistance but Cambodia still collapsed. Former culture minister Long Botta criticizes the amount but acknowledges it occurred.
