Two cops sacked in sex/extortion/drugs case in Samut Prakan

The provincial chief of police has taken the unusual step of sacking two policemen at the Muang Samut Prakan police station.

 

The men had been transferred to clerical duties last Friday pending an investigation but yesterday Pol Maj-Gen Chumphon Phumphuang dismissed both men from the police. 

 

Chief of the "Help Crime Victim Club" Atchariya Ruangrattanapong had taken "May", 34, to see Chumphon after she claimed that policemen had extorted her out of money after allegedly planting drugs on her. 

 

It was claimed that two Ya Ba pills were found on the woman who was searched in a police booth. 

 

Senior police sergeant Wongchaiyaphat, 51, and at least one other demanded a 50,000 baht bribe for her release that the victim managed to reduce to a payment of 25,000 baht.

 

She paid but it did not end there. Wongchaiyaphat then telephoned the victim to demand sex and if she could not supply it to find a woman who would. If she didn't he said she would be arrested again. 

 

After the victim went to her elder brother and mother Atchariya took on the case. 

 

Now the provincial chief has decided that due to the serious nature of the charges it is impossible for Wongchaiyaphat and police sergeant Ekkachai, also of the same station, to continue in uniform in any capacity.

 

They have been stripped of their jobs and will likely face criminal proceedings. 

 

Plus in a latest development Atchariya has taken a 21 year old man to the chief to say that at the start of 2019 he was extorted out of 20,000 baht by Wongchaiyaphat in another drug case.

Dirty, despicable person.

Let's hope this is the start of a major clampdown on unworthy people in the R.T.P. (instead of inactive posts), and not a one off.

That paragraph bothers me, why it have to be said 'unusual' what else can be done with bent cops? send to to retirement with a fat pension and a farewell party?...

[whiteman]

Trust me this is not the only station doing this needs to be a big clean out but the people are too scared to report these matters so it goes on and on.

[BigFun]

Brilliant! Great to hear jobs lost and prosecution pending. A policy well overdue.

That should be the norm when any police man does things like that, but usually they get a slap on the wrist, and transferred.

[Golden Triangle]

Fingers crossed that they are not surreptitiously reinstated next year like some senior cops a couple of weeks ago ????

[PatOngo]

This should have little or no negative impact on the pristine image of the RTP!

thats where bad mnent is spotlighted and those resoponsble for the manager needs lookin at...

"They have been stripped of their jobs and will likely face criminal proceedings." 

 

 

 Un believable.....They will "likely" face criminal proceedings?  Im pretty amazed that they were actually sacked in the first place.....If they get their jobs back in a few days/weeks/months is another thing.

 

"Unusual" to sack the two bent coppers? About as rare as a white elephant shopping for pineapples in a 7-11..

 

 

 

This is the same country that wants to "attract" high end millionaire tourists too?

 

 

 

Good luck on that one.

The new broom is sweeping clean, great, but for how long ?

[sammieuk1]

What's going on here normally the real victims get promoted will they get to keep the money as severance ????  

[Badboldie]

Not that I am complaining, but I wonder how the story\alligations were proven?

I hope the families will be safe after them being booted out of the force... you know how sensitive men can be, especially when stripped of a uniform and income source.

I know there are lots of issues with these cops but I also know this dismissal would of never occurred under Shinawatra, either of them..

Come on @ezzra, with over 12,000 posts, I am sure you've been around this moobahn long enough to have heard the term 'inactive post'.

 

The fat pensions and farewell parties may be closer to the truth than you think.

Maybe .... Maybe not.

 

I'll come closer to believing it when an interpol warrant for murder goes out on the Red Bull heir.  Till then I won't hold my breath.

[Pique Dard]

hope other renegade police got the message! in the philippines, one should be very careful as some unscrupulous custom officers at the airport would try to sneak a bullet in your luggages while pretending to screen them,  then ask you to pay  thousands of pesos. the other option is emprisonment

i was once extorted by a traffic police.

i stopped my bike in a red light and than just pulled a bit the gas handle, to keep the engine going.

the noise was not loud and i did not do it in a provocative manner.

a policeman who stood besides did not like it and pulled me over.

he gave me a ticket, took my lisence and told me to pay in a nearby police station.

when i asked what i did wrong he gave am an angry look.

i sent my girlfriend to the police station and asked her to ask what i did wrong.

the policeman there told her that if she will not pay the 1000 baht fine, it will be worse.

 

i paid but did not forget, and never again rented a bike in thailand.

it just aint worth it. you cannot drive in fear of getting senseless fines.

 

this made me wonder if there is any way for farang to defend themselves in case of such

traffic tickets? is there any legal process available at all to dispute traffic fines?

 i never heard of anyone who tried it with success

The problem is, the policeman considered it as loud, and in a provocative manner, and thus fined you. 

Policemen, wherever, are sworn in, thus their word has more value than yours.

*Likely* being the operative word, Not a word to say if they have been charged or arrested, don't hold your breath on any prosecution.

The chief should be prosecuted for tarnishing the RTP's pristine image because he believes these scandalous charges.

not sure if you are serious or jocking, but my question is if there is any chance i can see a judge

in thailand to dispute the policeman view.

you are propably one of those americans who believe that the whole world is playing by  - the fair indeed - american rules.
