snoop1130 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 AMLO reveals details of assets seized from ex-ministry official, his girlfriend By The Nation File photo The Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) revealed details of its order to seize 43 assets worth Bt108.68 million from three former senior officials at the Social Development and Human Security Ministry and their alleged accomplices as part of an investigation into the alleged misappropriation of funds at centres for the destitute. The impounded assets include five luxury cars worth Bt25 million, five condominium units worth Bt23.5 million and two bank accounts with deposits totalling more than Bt20 million. The two bank accounts were owned by Wassana Tapaopong, 49, a former ministry official, who was also the girlfriend of late ex-permanent secretary for Social Development and Human Security Puttipat Lertchaowasit. The assets worth Bt108.68 million were seized in two events earlier this year. First, 41 assets worth Bt88.542 million were seized from Puttipat, his former deputy Narong Kongkham, the former inspector-general Theerapong Srisukhon, Wassana and eight alleged accomplices; and later the two bank accounts under Wassana’s name. The 60-year-old Puttipat was found dead on June 29, lying next to Wassana in their house in Pathum Thani. They had apparently tried to kill themselves by drinking poison, as they had reportedly been under pressure in relation to the multi-million-baht corruption scandal. Wassana survived the double suicide attempt.

bluesofa Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Seems fair enough to me. Stole money from the most needy. Caught out, committed suicide. No sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These assets were already ear marked for the pockets of the tops in governments with maybe one fifth of the assets worth announced that one fifth will trickle down to the others in the chain of lower officials.

AsiaHand Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 We maybe see even more of governments actions in the future continuing up to the elections as more of the government and military tops are getting smarter about excluding the number of people about their corruptions of the countries contracts and the distribution of money s involved.Thus, If they have no secrets then they can be tried more easily.while pocking their assets.

Yes, the only difference regarding policing we would see is a lack of bribes for things like traffic stops. Probably some alleged 'influential group' would be in the wings waiting to jump in though.

neeray Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 This tough treatment should apply to all, ALL government officials whether elected or position acquired by force. “Serve the people” for the pay offered but don’t steal from the common people to augment your income. If you don’t like the pay, don’t take the job. Don’t be a pig at the trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
