Cambodia will receive $ 59 million in financial assistance from Sweden

This was announced the day after the Cambodian authorities agreed to deport The Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfried Svarthholm, who was arrested last Thursday, from the country. Cambodia has no extradition treaty with Sweden. The head of the Cambodian National Police Sok Phal said that the authorities would only force Svartholm to leave the country, and it is unknown to the police exactly where he will go.

And this is not the only interesting coincidence - on the day of Gottfried Svarthholm’s arrest, US Trade Representative Ron Kirk visited the country. And two days earlier, on August 28, a meeting of the ministers of the countries-members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) with the Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization Francis Gurry was held in Cambodia.
