We don't need a lawyer, we don't need no stinkin' lawyer - Ha!

Something that would be interesting seeing a list of those that went to Germany.

How many for the purpose intended, and how many hangers on, just out on a jolly.

“The German authorities wanted time to examine the case. Normally that takes about two months. Thai authorities have asked them to complete it within three days,” Prawit said.

 

How about they complete the investigation into the watch scandal within 3 days!! 

That absolutely a good planing action, spend a lot of money to send 13 officers to Germany without any preparation, good.

The faces are so lost they have now fallen off run Herr monk run the Thai gestapo got a plane to catch 

Hmmm.

 

Big loss of face

 

I can hardly wait for the face-save press release.

 

Maybe like 'Pol General ChakthipChaijinda really on secret mission to study German police procedures.'

If he gets in Germany needs to have a serious word with itself. Idiots like this deserve to be rotting in jail and no place else

Right - We have no clue what the evidence against him is. Is it real or made up? He could be corrupt or totally innocent and a victim of a railroading. Germany will want to evaluate that evidence, so they might actuallly get to see something, unlike you or me. Given the RTP 3 day demand and posse in force, ... theya re going to need a lot of evidence.

Oh right and Thailand and Germany DO NOT HAVE an extradition agreement, so Thailand is going to have to present evidence and HOPE that Germany is in a good mood.

"Monks" parading around in the name of Buddhism are greedy, money-grubbing & conniving pedophiles that deserve all the negative publicity they get.

Each and everyone of them should be publicly named and shamed.

They're a disgrace to the true principles of Buddhism.


I say kick them to the curb when they come around to your house, begging for free food. 


This recent video is how they should be treated.

Prawit is famous. Famous for his watches that is.

Google his name and of the first 2 pages 17 of the 20 entries are international and domestic news stories about Prawit and his watches. He has reached the pinnacle of his fame as an international fool.

Thai expatriates living in Germany were believed to have aided the monk’s escape, Prawit said, adding that the preparations were being made “long ago”. Thai authorities are examining evidence regarding the people involved, he said. 

that's interesting.

I wonder who gets to put their feet up on the spare seat flying back ??

Fräulein Lulu is my guess!

While the Germans appear to be dragging their feet over deporting this monk back to Thailand, they certainly don't appear to be dragging their feet over deporting the Catalan ex-President back to Spain!

Still, I suppose that what's more important to the Germans than the application of double standards in these 2 cases is that EU chums on mainland Europe must be seen to be sticking together in the face of Brexit!

Of course a country that is led by an elected democratic regime, just not hand over a person to a military regime.
Even an idiot understand that.

When the Thai people catch drift that Germany is offering asylum to those fleeing prosecution (persecution) from a military junta who overthrew the democratically elected government and implemented their own, well, if an allege criminal embezzler can claim asylum in order to live in a 'free society', then why not the average Thai people?  If people catch that loophole, then the flood gates to a 'better life' in the EU may open.  There is a pretty low bar to fleeing prosecution (persecution): simple organize a pro-democracy demonstration and wait to be threatened with arrest, document, fly to Germany at the first change, apply for asylum. 

To be fair, fugitive criminals from North Korea are also not handed back.

When a bunch of Thailand's finest come over hungry for a kill, the best thing the German authorities can do is look closely at the case in the interests of justice.

Two police to extradite one fugitive?  About right.
Thirteen police to extradite one fugitive?  Sounds like a junket (waste/fraud/abuse of public funds).

Given the latter, the irony should not be lost on the outside observer or perhaps the German government.

A junket of high-level police representing a military junta who illegally seized power and overthrew a democratically elected government are sent to apprehend a individual accused a embezzlement. 
It's just swarmy and iniquitous at so many different levels.  Morality seems to have evaporated at the upper ends of religion and government. 

It's like watching leeches fighting over a bowl of blood.  It's vile and disgusting.
