Arrest warrants issued for teacher, vendor in lottery row

By The Nation 

 

 

Arrest warrants were approved on Wednesday morning for a schoolteacher and a ticket vendor involved in the Bt30-million lottery controversy in Kanchanaburi.
 

Teacher Preecha Kraikruan – who has challenged retired police officer Charoon Wimul over the ownership of the winning tickets in the November 1 draw – and vendor Rattanaporn “Jeh Babin” Supathip are being sought on three charges.

 

They are accused of giving false information concerning a criminal offence, giving information to an investigating official about an offence they knew had not been committed, and giving this information with malicious intent.

 

Central Investigation Bureau commander Pol Lt-General Thitirat Nongharnpitak led investigators applying for the warrants at Bangkok’s Ratchadapisek Criminal Court.

 

National police chief Chakthip Chaijinda was due to hold a press conference later on Wednesday about the results of the investigation, but the issuing of warrants appears to confirm that police believe Charoon is the real owner of the winning tickets.

This has all the makings of a Thai soap opera - all pure distraction from what REALLY matters in this land! And it concerns more than just a few million baht!!

Another protected job but this time the protection is just for Thai people between the haves and the have nots.. Those pesky teachers grabbing a space at the corrupttrough..

If you happen to win the lottery, and also hit the two bump up numbers, you can be sure the police will be waiting for you at the GLO HQ. Might as well just negotiate a 50% self-funded life insurance policy, and give them half at the get-go. Better that than dead, or in jail.

How will they know you won, take pictures of the tickets, your ID next to them, write your name & Phone # on back and if its a really big prize, (like the 30 mil) hire a lawyer to go to GLO with you (don't tell him why)  I won a 'large' prize 12 years ago, and 100K last year, no problems at GLO at all, gave me a Govt Check after taking out taxes, deposited it in my bank.  I'm still spending it.
