Ricketson was not in court to hear the choice. An assistant said a jail van transporting Ricketson to the court was late so the judge made the declaration before his landing.
It stays indistinct who Ricketson is blamed for spying for.
His capture comes in the midst of a more extensive crackdown on flexibility of articulation by the administration of Head administrator Hun Sen, who has ruled for a long time.

"He's torment. He's an Australian man in a tropical atmosphere in an unfathomably confined condition with 140 other individuals in his cell," Kennett said.
