Suthep challenges NACC to send his alleged graft case to Supreme Court

 

 

Action Coalition for Thailand (Ruam Palang Prachachart Thai) party co-founder Suthep Thuagsuban on Thursday urged the National Anti-Corruption Commission to have the corruption against him sent to the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Offices.

 

The former leader of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee was accused of malfeasance while in office in connection with the construction of 163 apartment buildings for police and 396 police stations throughout the country. Mr Suthep said that the longer the case was delayed, the greater the damage rendered to his reputation and political popularity by the accusation.

 

For the past seven years since the accusation against him emerged, he said he had been cooperative with the NACC all along, hoping that the case would soon reach the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Posts so the truth will be revealed to the public.

... where his political allies can make it all go away in time for an election.

Careful what you wish for it might come true.

 

This is like the Yes Minister warning from the bureaucracy not calling an enquiry unless you know the outcome, unfortunately many a politician has been burnt ignoring this advise.

Just lucky for you people here generally don't give a flying one, or are too stupid to know, or just happy to take some money to overlook it. Smart Thais and those with even an ounce of common sense can see you for the corrupt and immoral dog you are.

I can only imagine the amounts this guy has milked off the state, utterly reprehensible person, undeniable.

When has that ever happened ?   The fact that this moron keeps coming back is sickening.  He makes Thaksin look like an angel

[canuckamuck]

This guy got Prayut the best paying job in the land and now has built him a political party so they can all feign legitimacy forever. He's untouchable and he knows it.

Many Thai politicians have big mouths that do not close which quite often lead to their downfall.....this crook may soon have his day in court...hopefully!

Perhaps but if his political allies have already set the stage for the desired verdict it may be best to wait until a more responsible government is in place.

Yingluck has already been tried and convicted for events that occurred nearly 5 years after Suthep's "alleged" rorting of the police station construction budget...........I am beginning to suspect that there maybe something not quite right with the Thai courts.

 

Perhaps a touch of politicisation has crept in?
