ACT opposes appointment as prosecutor of official involved in Vorayuth case

By The Nation

 

Wongsakul Kittipromwong, Attorney-General, nominated name list for prosecutor, which was opposed by ACT

 

The Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand (ACT) has opposed the appointment of two officials, one involved in the botched prosecution of absconding Red Bull scion Vorayuth 'Boss' Yoovidhya, and another facing a criminal investigation.

 

In an open letter, the ACT opposed the promotion of Nate Naksuk as senior public prosecutor and Poramet Intarachumnum as inspector-general. The ACT called for reconsideration of the decision, warning it might destroy public faith in the justice system.

 

The list of public prosecutors and senior prosecutors from the Office of the Attorney-General has been sent to HM the King. The list included Nate, former deputy attorney-general, and Poramet, chief of the Thon Buri Litigation Department.

 

ACT said the decision has caused concern among the public as both prosectors are still under investigation. Nate came under fire for his decision to dismiss the final charge of reckless driving causing death against Vorayuth. Poramet was charged with drunk-driving causing danger to others and reckless driving causing danger to others in August 2020.

 

In the letter, the ACT urged the attorney-general to reconsider the appointments and clarify the reason behind the decision which could stain its reputation as the defender of justice.

If you think most of the public have faith with the Thai justice system, you must be delusional ! 

Rich and connected people may have faith in it, but I think that's about as far as it goes.

How can these prosecutors possibly act impartially? It looks like another opportunity to receive more brown white airmail  envelopes.

But is'nt that just how the judicial system works? They pay good money to get themselves in these positions. Should they not expect a return?

Under investigation !!! It will be put down a a misunderstanding.

It is beyond belief that they are even being considered, but then again anything is possible here.

You don`t understand the culture here col...when they say "misunderstanding" with anyone with any clout here it means they will turn a blind eye

p.s. keep your "dangly bits" wrapped up during this cold weather.
