Seven suspects face interrogation in Loei police embezzlement case

The Nation

 

 

Six civil servants – including three police officers – and one civilian were summoned on Thursday to provide information about their alleged links to the embezzlement suspect and former Loei police chief, Pol Maj-General Suthip Palitkusolthat.

 

Provincial Police Region 4 police investigators will interrogate the seven individuals and immediately file charges against anyone deemed to have been involved in Suthip’s alleged wrongdoings, said national police deputy chief Pol General Rungroj Saengkhram. 

 

The identity and positions of the seven are being withheld pending the result of the police probe.

 

Suthip, who had earlier been transferred to the police office in Bangkok, was on August 17 temporarily discharged from the Civil Service after being sued by a Provincial Police Region 4 Office for alleged fraud and the embezzlement of Bt240 million from 192 police officers.

 

While serving as the Loei police commander, Suthip had invited the 192 policemen to join the Loei police savings cooperative’s loan scheme. 

 

A subsequent probe found grounds for the allegation that he had misappropriated the loan scheme’s money and concluded that the alleged fraud had also caused nearly Bt1 billion in damages to northeastern residents allegedly lured into investing in the scheme. The probe also led police – in coordination with the Anti-Money Laundering Office – to seize assets worth Bt130 million from Suthip and his alleged accomplices. 

 

Rungroj told media that he and senior police had met at the police regional office in Khon Kaen on Thursday to discuss progress in the fraud case, and revealed that the seven suspects had been arrested. Rungroj also said the embattled Suthip had provided useful information to the investigation and co-operated by meeting police for every appointment.

Even shamelessly feeding off their own kind....knows no bounds this sort of stuff here. Abbots, police & army officers at it plus school/university teachers/admin and all and anyone in between at it. Even the salesman in the local car garage is thinking up scams on how to strip you when you want to trade in a car for a new one. It goes as deep as possible into every last corner of everything they can think of. 

This lot are on the wrong side of the political divide I take it?

interesting how 192 police officers have disposable cash of average 1.25 million baht. Also the main suspect has assets worth 130 million baht, borrowed from a dead friend?

The missing link

when are we going to get a govt with the balls to actually do a big clean out of all the corrupt police, its not as if its an unknown thing. The police force is full of corrupt officers and the public as well as those running the country know it but for some reason many of them appear to be a protected species, way past time there was a major push to remove them from the force completely as is done in the west when they have been found guilty of breaking the law. Would appear thainess and saving face is more important, pretty pathetic really, not a day goes past without police being involved in corrupt practices

There is only one reason people are in govt, and it's not to clean up the corrupt police force. The cops are minows compared to the big kahuna's in power! We should be thankful that the cops haven't purchased submarines.

...Struth.... cooperating by attending every meeting.... Look out Thailand and honest POL GEN..

Your correct but the missing link is that it is the police who are running and controlling the country.
