Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has long been known for her humanitarian efforts, such as her works in Cambodia where she has citizenship in 2005.

Jolie has set up the Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation in Cambodia, naming it after her adopted son, Maddox, who hails from the same country. Angelina has already put in many millions of dollars for this foundation in support of various projects for the area that was once the lair of the Khmer Rouge. She has brought so much help in the area.

However, reports now came out that Angelina Jolie has bought the land for $25,000 from a man who was once a Khmer Rouge lord and is considered a mass murderer.

Jolie is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency and she has been to so many refugee camps in more than 30 countries. One of the countries that she fell in love with was Cambodia. The question though is, “Was Angelina aware of the sale and the questionable background of the property?”

It seems that she was, if we are just to believe her former associate, Mounh Sarat. He said that he handled the purchase of the land that added up to about 225 acres, from a Cambodian leader named Yim Tith, who was known in revolutionary times as Ta Tith of the Khmer Rouge regime. When Angelina became a citizen, the ownership was transferred to her name.

I am not sure if all of this is true or just part true or not true at all. But this was revealed by a man who had publicly made allegations against Miss Jolie. So the details of this case are under investigation and Jolie’s camp would not comment on it.
