Police hunting for evidence to arrest labour traffickers, says chief

By The Nation

 

 

National Police chief Pol General Suwat Jangyodsuk said on Wednesday that though police have some idea who might be trafficking migrants across the border, solid evidence is still necessary to make arrests.

 

Police will first focus on the traffickers instead of the actual illegal Myanmar migrants, because Thailand has to address the problem in a humanitarian manner, he said. As for Myanmar migrant workers, whether legal or illegal, they will need to obey official guidelines, he said.

 

Meanwhile, in an announcement on Tuesday night, the prime minister said any government official found to be involved in labour trafficking will be punished. However, he said, police need time to find evidence first.

 

Suwat said this problem has been continuing for a long time. “If we pour our resources in dealing with illegal migrants, the numbers will drop but not disappear. There are many limitations to our work, but this has become a priority. We will first focus on traffickers, especially those who use natural channels,” he said.

just ask the police chiefs where their income comes from 

They know.Times change, and what perhaps was acceptable before has become a bit of a problem, politically. You can't close down an illegal migrant trail in  five minutes, be reasonable now.

But but but fatty Prawit said this is not possible, who or what do we believe ? The police, Prawit or Cha Cha ? They all seem to be telling different versions of the same story.

 

 

I pity the poor souls who have to arrest their own bosses...

Check for police officials that recently bought a Mercedes or BMW.
