webfact 140276 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 PM dissatisfied with the handling of Red Bull heir case Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said today that he is not satisfied with the way the Red Bull heir’s hit-and-run case has been handled by the police and public prosecutors and promised to take action, once he receives the report from the independent fact-finding panel headed by Vicha Mahakhun. He made the remarks after delivering a speech at an event commemorating the 74th anniversary of the founding of Bangkok Post newspaper, at the Centara Grand at Central Plaza Lat Phrao Hotel on Thursday morning. The Prime Minister said that public interest in the Red Bull scion’s case shows the importance of the media in Thai society.

RJRS1301 13893 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Seems to be lack of separation between state and judiciary? Perhaps a dignified silence until he has the report to speak to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad 32012 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Wait 'til he hears about the leaked video of people removing CCTV from the gambling den where that copper was shot. 6 years ago he promised to reform the police, and today the police and courts, etc, are just as bad as they've always been.

GinBoy2 9642 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I think once you have lived in Thailand long enough, the word 'independent' sort of loses its meaning, and you read it, roll your eyes and mutter 'uh huh'. A little bit more window dressing to try to quiet down the peasants, then back to life as usual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry55 1963 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Don't think there's much he can do at the moment poor soul he really needs the police to help with his student protest problems. And if Red Bull guy isn't cleared they'll loose a lot a dosh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokfrog 4367 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Didn't Prayut put himself in effective charge of the police some years ago? If so, he should be taking the blame personally for any subsequent mishandling of such a high profile case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix 6725 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 He should be happy with it because he must have given the green light to drop the charges. Prawit’s brothers were involved in getting that done. It is impossible that Prayut didn’t know. He is just unhappy that the public found out and reacted badly to the news. Now engaged in damage limitation without attempting to change the out outcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
