Two million people died as a result of the short-lived reign of terror by Pol Pot, the tyrant of Cambodia. Even after Pol Pot's ouster, his most loyal companion, Tep Khunnal, remained loyal to this murderer. He even married his widow and adopted his daughter. All of this brought him advantages. Who was this opportunist, Tep Khunnal?

In episode 319, ZEIT reporter Erich Follath tells podcast hosts Sabine Rückert and Andreas Sentker how he searched for Tep Khunnal in the Cambodian jungle—a man who thrives under any regime.
