Le groupe d'experts des Nations unies fait état d'un officier du Renseignement du Bureau général de reconnaissance de la RPDC nommé Kim Chol Sok qui exploitait des hôtels, des casinos, des restaurants et des bars au Cambodge à la mi-2020 et s'employait à étendre ses activités dans le tourisme ainsi que dans d'autres secteurs commerciaux, comme l'extraction de métaux précieux. Par son activité illicite au Cambodge, il génère des revenus en devises étrangères tout en travaillant pour le Bureau général de reconnaissance. Le Bureau général de reconnaissance de la RPDC fait l'objet de sanctions des Nations unies depuis la résolution 2270 (2016) du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies du 2 mars 2016. Kim Chol Sok est directement impliqué dans la violation des résolutions du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies et dans la fourniture de fonds pour les programmes illicites de la RPDC.
The Cambodian passports of this individual's alias "Sok Kha" use 1970 as the year of birth. Some of the passports clearly have the birth date Jan 1st 1970, some of the less clear images for passports appear to have the birth date Jan 21st 1970.
