Picture: Naew Na

 

The case against Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya is in the news again with speculation that the flow of money or otherwise from and to certain parties is soon to be revealed. 

 

A key witness in the case - now deceased - is having their financial records checked, said sources.

 

Who, if anyone, took bribes is being investigated and a big meeting is planned when new information could be forthcoming

 

Boss drove his Ferrari into a Thong Lo police sergeant in September 2012. A warrant is out for his arrest and Interpol have been informed.His current whereabouts are unknown though he is believed to be abroad. 

 

Now Pol Gen Watcharapol Prasanratchakij, chief of the National Counter Corruption Commission, said that "legal matters" were still being investigated ahead of a big meeting.

 

Citing "high level" sources in the NCCC, Thai media Naew Na said that the NCCC had been in contact with the Anti-Money Laundering Office or AMLO about the flow of funds between all those involved in the case. 

 

It involves money and goods and investigations are taking place to see if bribery was involved. 

 

Included in the investigation is Jaruchart Matthong who has since died. 

 

He was a prime witness in the case and his account details are being checked.

Should read "investigations are taking place to see WHAT bribery was involved !"

I wonder where the trail will lead when it is exposed to all......hmmm.  Not looking good for some people it appears.

How do you trace brown envelopes with cash in them ?

Please don't tell me you are expecting a TRUE list of ALL who were involved in bribery because that isn't going to happen !

I'm guessing you must have to use tracing paper.

Years ago a work colleagues mentioned that there are numerous streams whereby money/big money can be moved around with no trail inside Thailand and many processes to move money/big money offshore with no trace whatever then move it to whoever when it's back in Thailand and never appearing in any records. 

 

This is a very wealthy family, it's obvious they are protecting the young man (not surprising), they have the resources to pay big bribes and the resources to pay for 'under the radar' transfer of the bribes.

Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are my favorite things.

 

Apologies to Mary Poppins and Julie Andrews.

These days, money is transferred using cryptocurrency.

This is too funny…..

 

The people guilty of bribery will have to bribe the people investigating bribery….in order to be found not guilty of bribery.

 

There's never a dull moment.

A year ago, I went to my fitness centre in a top hotel and noticed a lot of expensive cars in the car park, Jag, Range Rovers, Porsche.  I had a laugh when I saw there was an anti-corruption meeting taking place.

Makes sense though, having rich people investigating.

I think I'd amend to read "investigations are taking place to see How much bribery was involved !"

Would he put the money in his bank account?

[Mak25]

So what is the statute of limitations for bribery? I think the investigations will take few more years.

[RichardColeman]

Problem is that nobody has any faith the people doing the investigation themselves have not been bribed at any time in the past !
