PHUKET: The top five ranking police officers of the Phuket City Police and the Thalang Police have been cleared of any suspicion of intentionally allowing illegal gambling dens to operate in the jurisdictions following raids carried out by provincial officials late June.

 

A probe to investigate the officers was launched after two gambling dens – one in Phuket Town and the other in Srisoonthorn – were raided on June 30.

 

The raids netted 87 people for illegal gambling. The gamblers and organisers were also charged under the Emergency Decree for forming an illegal gathering.

Maj Gen Rungrote declined to explain the details of the investigation, such as which police conducted the internal investigation, or why the probe was launched in the first place.

 

Of course he did...

The police being investigated may have had some spare brown envelope money so they were definitely innocent!

You have to show some compassion, Colin. ???? 

If they don´t get cleared, nobody is collecting the envelopes from the other 7 they not found yet.

The corruption knows no bounds. When the top is corrupt, and the bottom feeds that corruption, then it continues endlessly.

[Iron Tongue]

Well that takes a load off my mind!

 

I was really beginning to worry that these senior officers would be unfairly accused of doing wrong!

Nice to know these '' hard working'' cops are back to work.

No.  Read the link.  The police were involved in investigating the dens and organising the raids.

Read the link which confirms that the police in question were involved in the investigation of the dens in their jurisdiction that led to the raids.

The OP and the link clearly state that the raids were carried out by provincial officials after the police investigation.
