Ranariddh accuses L’Express of repeating Sam Rainsy’s allegations but does not dare sue the French magazine (1)
Pro-CPP newspapers Rasmei Kampuchea on 12 April quoted Prince Norodom Ranariddh as saying that the French magazine L’Express was just repeating Sam Rainsy’s allegations about his (Ranariddh’s) corruption. He asked Sam Rainsy to give to the Cambodian court any evidence he had allegedly given to L’Express. But he did not specify whether he would sue L’Express for defamation before the French court (see KI, 10 April 2005: “CPP warns Ranariddh against filing a lawsuit against L’Express”).
Actually, Sam Rainsy’s lawyer has already submitted to the Cambodian court (since 22 March 2005) irrefutable evidence about Ranariddh’s corruption (see KI, 30 March 2005: “Reasons for the killing of a witness”).

Hun Sen did not dare sue L’Express which accused him and his wife of a murder (1)
In October 1999, the French magazine L’Express published two articles showing that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany (who is also the President of Cambodia’s Red Cross) were behind the murder in July the same year of actress Piseth Pilika, who allegedly had an affair with Hun Sen. Given the irrefutable evidence against him and his wife as exposed by L’Express, Hun Sen did not dare file a defamation lawsuit against the French magazine. Instead, he asked his top adviser Om Yen Tieng (officially in charge of “human rights”) to issue an official statement under the Prime Minister’s letterhead accusing Sam Rainsy of “inventing” the Piseth Pilika’s story and “selling” it to L’Express.
In 1997, in a number of French-based publications and public meetings in Paris, Sam Rainsy accused Hun Sen of being the mastermind of the 30 March 1997 grenade attack in Phnom Penh, and he dared the Prime Minister to file a defamation lawsuit against him before the French court, which Hun Sen refused to do through another statement by the same Om Yen Tieng (see KI, 31 March 2005: “[About] Hun Sen and Ranariddh filing defamation lawsuit against L’Express”).

French Foreign Minister called Hun Sen “a crook” (2)
On 7 October 1999, after reading Piseth Pilika’s story in L’Express while travelling on a plane taking him to Beyrouth, Hubert Védrine, then French Minister of Foreign Affairs, reportedly said about Hun Sen: “C’est une crapule” [He is a bad crook].
