AMLO asks police to investigate  former senior official for alleged money-laundering

By Thai PBS

 

 

The Anti-Money Laundering Office has asked the Counter Corruption Division (CCD) police to investigate Putthipat Lertchaowasit, a former permanent secretary of the Social Development and Human Security Ministry, and a former female official of the ministry who was his close aide, for alleged money-laundering.

 

Withaya Nititham, an AMLO official, submitted a petition and evidence against Mr Putthipat and the former female ministry official, who were alleged to have been involved in the embezzlement of welfare funds for the destitute and the poor.

 

Mr Witthaya said the AMLO had found in its investigation that Mr Putthipat and the woman, whom he did not identify, had transferred the stolen money to other people. He declined to reveal their identifies or whether they were relatives of the two and how much money had been transferred to them.

I was thinking that there is so much corruption here that Thailand needs a really serious deterrent. China had the idea of executing those caught, but obviously, if that was introduced here, there would be nobody left!

80% of all Thais would be gone. That's how bad it really is.

 

 

When a large number of Thais say corruption is ok as long as it helps them, one may understand why corruption is so prevalent here. 

 

What kind of people think stealing and cheating is ok?
