By Chalarntorn Yothasmutra

 

 

A police officer admitted that has driven ex-premier Yingluck Shinawatra in a car to escape to the border. But he denied forging document charge after the car’s licence plate was proved to be fake.

 

The accused officer Pol Col Chairit Anurit, deputy commander of the Division 5 of Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) confessed that he and two subordinates helped to take the former premier out in a Toyota Camry car to Srakaeo border.

 

Now he faces charge of forging official documents after the license plate number of the car was proved to be fake.

That's the end of that, then. 

 

 

This is a long way from over.  It will be interesting how much they charge these guys and what they get as punishment.

 

If it is true justice they will lose everything they have and d0 a couple of years in prison.

 

All the finances for his family should also be watched

 

This smells worse than pla ra.

They will probably get some form of punishments but of course those paying them and breaking laws in doing so will not get punished. Sad.

Someone had to fall on a sword.  Obviously the best choice was a few low-ranking police officers whose families may now be set for life.

So, not charges of helping someone on trial to flee from justice.

 

Truly, as the Fun Boy  Three said "The lunatics have taken over the asylum"

 

Some of the other lyrics in that track are also apt to the current times we live in...

I'm not sure what charges could be brought against them as at the time (AFAIK) Yingluk wasn't restricted on travel inside Thailand. And if indeed this was a confiscated vehicle used by the police, what plates were on it when he got it?

 

Again, IMHO, this colonel and associates did not hatch this evacuation plan by himself and sell it to the ex-prime minister, somebody told him what to do.

I'm sorry but helping someone flee the legal process [no matter how flawed] has got to be a crime.

And corruption within the RTP continues unabated.....................broken only by 'lip service' being paid to rooting out corruption. 

OK so if they are going after these accomplices are they going to finish the job and bring Yingluck back?

You're skipping to the end of the novel and missing out all the twists and turns in between...

Agreed, and I hope the day comes soon when the general removes the first 4 or 5 layers of all of the RTP,  and more, to house arrest or whatever and installs some trusted high performing ethical people from outside.

 How true, surely there's at least a fish farmer in the middle of the story.

Plus, just wondering why they weren't attending to their normal duties?

To be fair, he probably got a bribe [a fat one] for driving her away.

 

Isn't that normal for the bib?

To root out corruption, the first thing that the general needs to do is remove himself and his buddies at the NCPO !
