Nephew of Cambodia's PM planning legal action

The nephew of Cambodia's Prime Minister has denied all allegations that he is involved in a heroin trafficking and money laundering syndicate targeting Australia.

Hun To has told Radio Australia's Khmer Service that he has engaged a lawyer to take legal action against the publisher of The Age newspaper for allegations it published earlier this year.

The Melbourne-based newspaper reported in March that the plan to arrest Hun To in Australia was thwarted because his application for a visa was denied by the Australian embassy in Phnom Penh.

Hun To says he is now in Australia to clear his name.

He says if he has done anything wrong, he wouldn't have been granted a visa to travel to Australia.
