DSI reviewing prosecutor’s decision not to indict developer Anant Asavapokin

 

 

Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is considering whether to oppose a decision by the Office of the Prosecutors for Special Cases not to indict a real estate developer charged with money laundering.

 

The developer, Mr. Anant Asavapokin, was charged by the DSI with money laundering relating to the purchase of a 2.76 hectare plot of land in Khlong Luang district of Pathum Thani province, close to Wat Dhammakaya, from Mr. Supachai Srisupap-aksorn, former president of the Khlong Chan Credit Union Cooperatives.

 

Supachai, who is currently in jail on fraud charges, along with some other staff, were accused of stealing several billions of baht in deposits belonging to members of the cooperatives, with some of the embezzled money being used to buy the land.

DSI want their cut of this bit of action!!

Always a tremendous amount of deliberation over charging a wealthy person of a crime. I wonder what is the price of avoiding prosecution. Little chance I would be offered the same conditions.

It really is past due for these thieving bankers to be locked up where they belong. They've been getting a free pass for far too long. Especially in the US.
