Eliminated from the sale process of ASSE, Norodom Ravichak still wanted to make things clear, especially regarding his investment capacity.
Unknown to the general public, Norodom Ravichak has been talked about him in recent weeks as part of the takeover of ASSE . And for good reason, the Prince of Cambodia was the bearer of an ambitious project that has long been a favorite. It must be said that he said he was ready to invest € 100M, a colossal sum that made the Greens dream. However, after having been taken aback for the first time by KPMG for his public positions, Norodom Ravichak was silent in silence before being ousted from this process after being accused of providing false documents. The Prince of Cambodia made a point of clarifying things.
“I repeat: it is about Chinese funds”
“I know and then I received a note from the people at KPMG (auditing and consulting firm responsible for reviewing applications) asking me to respect my confidentiality clause. My lawyer explained to them that in view of my status as official ambassador to His Majesty, I was asked to clarify things. Because it made a lot of noise in my country that people say that I am the crown prince, which is not the case despite my royal blood, and that 100M € can come from the king's reserve. I repeat: these are Chinese funds, “he says in an interview with L'Equipe.
