Second warrant out for fugitive daughter embroiled in rice scam

By The Nation

 

BANGKOK: -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a second warrant for the arrest of a businesswoman who has been convicted over the bogus government-to-government rice deal and was set to be imprisoned for four years.

 

Thanyaporn Chansakulporn is the 21st defendant in the case against Boonsong Teriyapirom, who was Commerce minister in the Yingluck Shinawatra government and has been jailed for his role in the scam.

 

Thanyaporn and several other defendants were due in court on Wednesday to hear the verdict and be formally sentenced.

 

She had also skipped the reading of the verdict on August 25, when her father, Apichart Chansakulporn, was sentenced to 48 years in prison for malfeasance, having helped Boonsong set up the fake rice deal.

 

Her absence that day triggered the first arrest warrant.

 

Pairoj Polem, secretary of the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Office, said the judges on Wednesday decided in Thanyaporn’s absence to not read the verdict against her.

 

The panel of judges, headed by Supreme Court vice president Thanarirk Nitaseranee, assumed, however, that she must have learned about the verdict when it was read on August 25.

 

The judges decided as a result that a second arrest warrant should be issued.

 

Thanyaporn was sentenced to four years in prison and fined Bt40,000.

 

The court also ordered Thanyaporn’s firm, Keetha Property Co Ltd, named as 20th defendant in the case, to pay the government Bt1.294 billion in compensation.

These rats are fleeing because they didn't give themselves immunity. Someone else we know has learned this lesson at their expense and has given himself and his cronies immunity from any decision they make; stupid, criminal or otherwise.

No. The rats are running the country and removing the competition while the flees and lice are being duped into a future feeding frenzy. In accordance with the 20 year rat trap of course.

Such systems (CCTV's, for example) quite often malfunction in LOS.

Thailand is a joke.  And the BIB couldn't catch a cold. In case they haven't heard already, Yinluck has left the country.  55555 Issue a thousand warrants.  In typical Thai fashion, she's not going to honor them.

Yes people absconding from certain sentences for wilful greed and fraud.  Should be a law against it.

Hard to defend Apichart (Thaksin's bag-man) and his family, these stooges weren't even elected. The normal response will be to change the subject.
