ECCC: Separation of the Case of Kaing Guek Eav

2) Separation of the case file relating to Kaing Guek Eav, alias DUCH
The Co-Investigating Judges consider that the judicial investigation regarding the alleged
crimes attributed to DUCH in connection with the S21 detention centre should be brought to a
close in the coming months (to the extent possible, during the first half of 2008). Therefore,
on 19 September 2007, they decided, in order to ensure good judicial administration, to order
the separation of the DUCH case as regards these alleged crimes (case file No. “001/18-07-
2007-ECCC/OCIJ”), in order to close this part of the investigation without having to await the
results of additional investigations concerning the other alleged crimes referred to in the
Introductory Submission by the Co-Prosecutors, dated 18 July 2007 (case file No. “002/19-
09-2007-ECCC/OCIJ”).
