Patrick Henri Devillers, 52, is one of two Westerners in China known to have had close business ties to the family of deposed Chinese politician Bo Xilai, specifically with Bo's wife who is accused of murdering British expatriate, Neil Heywood.

“There was an arrest of this French man in relation to a crime in China,” said Touch Narouth, police chief in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh.

He declined to give further details.

A source at the French Embassy confirmed Devillers had been arrested.
