Somchai Jutikidecha,55 - a leading figure in illegal football gambling on the eastern seaboard - will hear charges in court in Pattaya related to organizing a hit on a motorcycle taxi driver last year, reported INN.

 

He is charged with conspiring in July with two other men who were arrested in December to hire Manas and another man to kill Prathum Sa-atnak, a rider at the Bali Hai rank.

 

He denies the charge.

 

Manas, 40, has admitted to shooting the deceased and along with a man called Niphon to having been paid 200,000 baht for the hit. He is also facing weapons' offences.

 

Somchai was arrested on March 25th, 2021.

 

The case will begin to be heard starting next Wednesday.

He did, at least that's what he's being charged with.

I guess it depends on getting the envelopes out to the right people.

You would imagine he was clever enough to be at least four steps removed from actually talking directly to these morons?

You would think he has at least one under boss for this purpose, but maybe the prosecution have four witnesses, for the four steps, who rolled.
