Last fugitive monk, Phra Phrommedhi, nabbed at German airport


webfact

Recommended Posts

Thai police had informed many foreign countries via Interpol that Phra Phrommedhi (now known only as Chamnong Dhammajari) was a wanted fugitive. 

 

Hurray ! They know how to do it!

 

So now we can expect to see the red bull killer soon in a Thai prison. Not?

His escape plan was seriously flawed.

Absolutely!

Seems he didn't shout "Asyl!" (asylum) otherwise he would be safe and well taken care of for years.

Would be interesting to know what passport the presented in Frankfurt.

reportedly he crossed into laos by boat bypassing immigration 

A popular method for criminals of all kind.

 

Is his route a blueprint how to escape from Thailand:

Quote

“He then headed towards Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. From the Ho Chi Minh airport, he boarded a flight to Qatar. And from Qatar, he tried to go to Germany,” the source said. "

What ever happened to the "boss" from Red Bull that killed the policeman?  All's gone quiet!

12 posts before he got a mention- disgraceful! Standards chaps, standards!

"So now we can expect to see the red bull killer soon in a Thai prison. Not?"

I told that to my wife five minutes ago, after my post on the subject (post 30) she answered: No, the family of the dead policeman received six million ฿  so the charge was dropped for the killing, whether you liked  it or not, it is the law and  it is like that in Thailand, a law probably hundreds of years old, an old law for sure but still in application.

So we could say that he is no longer prosecuted for having killed someone but for road crime like excess speed in the city driving in a state of intoxication, yes OK,  but it is not so serious anymore. 

I must reckon that IS a problem of culture most of us, right or wrong refuse to accept or at least with difficulty.

So a money-laundering monk gets "nabbed" at a foreign airport but "others" that still owe 35 billion baht travel freely ..... mmm....

Mmm...probably because he was travelling on a cancelled passport..."Phra Phrommedhi, a former high-ranking monk who fled Thailand over money-laundering allegations, is being held in custody in Germany after failing to pass an airport immigration check".   

 

The other debtor wasn't.

Well done German immigration, you did what Thai immigration should have done, but failed.

Bearing in mind that at the time of his escape there was no ban on his travelling as he hadn't been arrested and there were no warrants out for him, how do you see a Thai Immigration "failure"?

German immigration officers were only able to do what they did because of advice from Thai IOs, how else would he "fail an Immigration check"?

Interesting who they are willing to extradite and who they are not. 

As he failed an immigration check to enter the country what else could Germany have done?   There is no extradition treaty between Thailand and Germany? 

 

The country in which a fugitive has sought safety is the one that does the extraditing, not the country in which he is wanted.

Redbull murderer still on the go.

Could be because he is not wanted in any country apart from Thailand for a traffic offence and is travelling on a valid passport.  This ex-monk is wanted in connection with the embezzling of millions (billions?) of baht, bit of a difference.

See how easy it is Col to get criminals. I just wonder why they have so many problems arresting that Red Bull heir? Have you any ideas why they cant arrest him? I have a few but don't want to lose face on here

That he has committed no offences in any countries anywhere else and only a serious traffic offence in Thailand could be the reason.  He's also got a valid Thai passport.

 

Who do you think would be in a position to arrest him overseas and for what?

Very often it's out of place to always talk about Boss in stories that have nothing to do with his affair!

But in this case, you're right, 100 %, for him who kills a policeman no one in the police moves his a** "to inform many foreign countries via Interpol that he was a wanted fugitive" ... disgusting!

Keep up, Interpol was informed about Vorayuth

Thai authorities did inform Interpol initially about Vorayuth in order to help track him down so it is already known that they know how to do it.  Whether Interpol takes any notice is a different matter and Vorayuth will only go behind bars if he is found guilty of the traffic offences that he is charged with which hasn't happened yet.

Your wife is wrong, the causing death charge is the main one still outstanding and will continue to be for years.  The speeding charge expired as did (I think) the DUI charge.

Another junket funded by Thai tax-payers.  How many cops does it take to sit next to a handcuffed felon?

several plus prosecutors, wow any seat still available on that flight?

It was reported that National Police Commissioner Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda, several senior policemen and public prosecutors had already boarded flights from Thailand to interrogate and accept the hand-over of Chamnong Dhammajari. 

 

 

Another Jolly.....

A high ranking Commissioner, and Prosecutors that cant have too much to do,when they can afford the time and money,at the taxpayers expense to perform an excercise that can be done easily on his arrival in Thailand.

 

Why not send Two burly cops to escort him back? TIT.

That photo don't look right.

His missing the Raybans, Louis Vuitton bag, and I phone. 

his letting the team down,  dressing like that. :giggle:

 

That is an old photo taken in Thailand in better days.image.jpeg.403a17c7744446508f57a7db4a7498a0.jpeg

But, since there seems to be no photo of the ex-monk in the custody of the German Immigration, we can only guess what he looked like.

Could well be, he's not in Thailand as yet and wouldn't expect him for sometime, the bleeding hearts will ensure the extradition process will be well drawn out and at the end of the day might even fail. Lawless state and coup don't go together very well.

Amazing, how efficient Interpol can work, compared to the Red Bull heir-case...?

I wonder why they are going after these monks in particular.  There must be hundreds, if not thousands, of corrupt senior monks in Thailand.  The clergy's financial system is very loose without audits or transparency and unknown quantities of donations coming in as well as government funding. It is a system that would cause problems in developed rule of law jurisdictions let alone a hugely corrupt country like Thailand.  It must be a coincidence that these monks sit on the Sangha Council which is otherwise difficult to change.
