NACC waiting for info on Prawit’s watches from manufacturers

 

 

The National Anti-Corruption Commission denies foot-dragging in its investigation into the luxury watches scandal involving Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, saying that information it has obtained so far is still incomplete.

 

Withaya Akhompithak, an NACC member, said his office has gathered enough information domestically but more information is still needed from the manufacturers of the watches in other countries.

 

In seeking cooperation from these manufacturers, the NACC is required to rely on bilateral relations between Thailand and the countries where the manufacturers are based and relevent international laws. Therefore, it may take some time to get all information needed, but he could not give a definite timeframe for the completion of the investigation.

NACC denies dragging feet in the investigation of Ole Fattys watch scandal.

Priceless  absolutely priceless.

No doubt we will hear something down the track when he has joined the red bull heir, we, under the Privacy Act cannot disclose who the owner/s are for confidentiality reasons, and are bound by our laws, not Thailand's....lol

That's it.....

 

Blame the foreigners ?

 

This has become so predictable that you actually could make it up.

[scorecard]

I can't think of any reason whatever why information from the manufacturers is needed to make a decision on this case. Can you?

They can confirm the actual owner, and the NACC can then compare the actual owners names against the names of all the dead people the DPM was friendly with.

Just when you thought this story was dead and buried the bling mister starts shinning again.

I am happy its not dead and buried, the press should keep it in the spotlight that is their job.

[trainman34014]

Watch this space; information will still be incomplete in another ten years !

[Oziex1]

Why are they bothering, this is over we know he has got away with it.  Not good,  don't like it but there you go. NACC are friends of these creeps.

[mok199]

they are dragging this dead story around so the ''happy ending ''they have planned has him shinning like a hero.

This is complete B.S. If the brand has distributors in the country, they have to obey justice decisions in Thailand. The issue is not if the manufacturer is based abroad or not, but if the manufacturer has a subsidiary, agents or distributors in Thailand or not.

Even worse the NACC is an organisation designed to protect these dumb ass military rogues. 

[holy cow cm]

Each watch can be traced faster than I could  say Rumpelstiltskin. So much BS in this invisible scandal. 

[sjaak327]

Does anyone still believes this agency is independent and unbiased. If his surname would have been Shinawatra he would be impeached months ago. And a criminal prosecution would have started, with Prayuth using 44 to confiscate assets well before a guilty verdict

 

He either has the watches or he 'borrowed' them as he claimed. Maybe they could ask the alleged owner(s).

 

Flat out bullshit this statement... It places yet more doubt on anything this agency does, it needs to be discontinued and replaced by honest and independent people.

 

I know I get a few knickers in a twist by saying this, but the evidence of what Thaksin claims becomes more and more evident....

Waiting for what? For price in Europe? Price is Europe is irrelevant. Even if purchased in Europe as to bring it in still have to pay tax. Or to confirm its authenticity ? In which case he is guilty of buying fakes if not genuine

Good points Sir and any Thai sub ' or distributor will have all the serial numbers , model numbers of any watch in question and to whom that watch was sold .. And if Rolex are sold in Thailand the same as the U K then payment which has to be either card or BACS ( no cash ) provides another link to who bought it .. And as already mentioned by another post if they were bought outside of Thailand then surely there must be tax entry somewhere for their arrival here which would be another link .. Its a credit to their powers of obfuscation that they have managed to boot the can this far down the road as it must be 6 mths now and still no nearer a verdict .. great stuff

What a total barrel of shit

Stalling for time. 

 

TIT once again!

The National-Under-The-Rug-Sweepers are looking to buy a bigger rug..., with tax-payer money.

Let’s say my missus’ best friend likes to borrow her expensive watches. They’re obviously great friends as she’s lending her very expensive watches. So, my missus passes away and suddenly her best friend is being accused of corruption because of these watches. Well, call me crazy - but the first thing I’d do is speak to whoever I’m supposed to speak to and tell them the truth. She really did borrow the watches. I have proof of purchase, etc. I’d do everything I could to help my missus’ friend. Silence just means you have something to hide. 

 

As I typed this message, I did think, “Why bother?” We all know he owns the watches and he’s an abhorrent and corrupt pig.

NAAC besmirches its reputation with every day that passes without an arrest/recommendation.  Each BS utterance they make just adds petrol to the flames.

[madmitch]

Or perhaps they've yet to find anyone prepared to provide the relevant (though not necessarily as accurate as their watches) ownership documentation in return for a donation to their Swiss bank account.

[poohy]

Patently obvious

They haven't answered because they have NOT been asked , this news is for Thai consumption only

....at approximately half-past forever.

Does anyone remember how long they first stated the investigation should take? 

 

Innocent til proven guilty? No, innocent because we refuse to find you guilty. Ain’t being rich great? 

[neeray]

It's really very simple to determine the origin of all these watches. It requires a personal inspection of the back side of each watch where it will say "thanks for purchasing our submarines".
