BANGKOK — The Department of Special Investigations, or DSI, said Saturday it would look into a foreigner claiming to be one of its agents who threatened a news editor to remove a story about the recent arrests of Russian and Belorussian social media personalities in Pattaya.

 

Thierry Perenon, who identified himself as a Frenchman working as a DSI “special agent” in the resort city, emailed the editor of Khaosod English saying he must delete the story about the group, who claimed to have information proving Russian meddling in the 2016 United States presidential election.

 

“I am special agent of DSI.

judging by what we know this nutjob said in the larger article, it contains the same tenor as the emails , which he denies, betting he did everything he is accused of

[Darcula]

Quote

he’s only part of a “foreigner network program” in Pattaya

 

 

Clearly, he's the big cheese in the Thai police force.

 

 

[mercman24]

why are they so bloody thick, just raid his house and take away his computer, if this lot had a brain they would be dangerous ha ha

[PhuketSarah]

If he's just a nobody tipster, why is he with the raid? ( Although the phony POLICE shirt does scream "Le' POSEUR".) 

Wonder if he's gonna get somebody in trouble?

BUT ...why were police in plain clothes?  " Someone from the hotel called the police" according  to NY Times.. So OK  police from the local station should have arrived.

Khao sod is certainly doing the best reporting on this saga.

Hmm, poor attempt to keep this ludicrous story alive.

"this side of Rybka's story also makes a great deal of sense: her closeness with Deripaska and his secrets *could* have given her access to the details of a Trump-Manafort-Kremlin association, conspiracy, and plot. Any investigator would want to look further into this..."

[Cadbury]

An obnoxious upstart if ever there was one. The Pattaya DSI and RTP need the likes of him like a hole in the head.

He's lying  and probably now realizing he made a big mistake contacting Khao Sod. He may even be  the disgruntled student who turned them. From the article - 

Perenon, who posted photos of himself in DSI and police uniforms on his social media profile, named deputy DSI chief Korrawat Panprapakorn as his supervisor.

In a phone interview, Korrawat said Perenon misrepresented himself, as he’s only part of a “foreigner network program” in Pattaya – a group of volunteers who help send tips about potential crimes or transnational gangs to the DSI – and not a sworn officer. Volunteers have no legal authority, he said.

[Somtamnication]

"and not a sworn officer. Volunteers have no legal authority, he said". Woopsy daisy!

He's French, must be le gros fromage.

[yellowboat]

Never new Thailand hired foreigners to serve as police officers.   Can't say there is any improvement in tact or a desire for greater public safety, just another blunt instrument worshiping power who happens not to be Thai.

Should have just claimed to be a member of an un-elected government

[mstevens]

This is a great example of why little good comes from Westerners getting involved with the Thai police.  Worst of all, allowing foreigners to wear a uniform with various official-looking insignia confuses many people in to wondering just what the person's role and authority is - and these foreigner police wannabes know that and in some cases have been show to abuse that authority.

[mmail2you]

Isn't this the guy that works in Soi Lengkee Pattaya at a french short time bar

 

[pattayadon]

   Does he have a work permit?  DSI agents wear uniforms now? OMG... How ridiculous is this? lmfao 555555

[cplgil]

What a clown, he looks like a midget he is shorter than the thai police. Suffering from short man syndrome napolean complex. Why would a real DSI agent plaster it all over facebook and brag about it? What a goofball

[connda]

Ah-huh. Sure. FSB too. 

[smew]

This guy is in a desperate need of a check-up from the neck up. Mentally disturbed!

[anon789561]

555 what a complete tool. DSI, please do yourselves a favour  and cut any ties with the sad case

** never have 100% confidence in my VPN to write what i really want to

[sikishrory]

People with big <deleted> dont need to go around telling people how big they are. Thia guy has just made himself look like a fool

[Marley01]

What a goose.

[djayz]

One time i was stopped by a foreigner in the police uniform in Chiang mai. It was a regular checkpoint as they had booth for fines just nearby. The guy was having like Australian accent. I was wondering at that time how he can work as a police officer.
