True. But an arrest because of 'ignoring his duties'.

 

But will there be any follow up to this 'arrest' ... or just the usual fodder for the media.

I don't know what else they could have arrested him for, im not that well versed in Thai law. But ignoring his duties seems to cover it when you sign off on a boat that is not up to standard. One could call it fraud or corruption but then you also have to prove that he received money to do so.

 

They might just have taken the easy way because they can prove this, the money he quite possible received is a lot harder to prove. Unless of course you can get the one who paid to flip on him (possible the company owner)

That is what worries me always, when its in the news it looks good on paper but when the spotlight has shifted things often change. Don't forget how long court cases take in Thailand.
