Popular Post webfact Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2021 Picture: Daily News A top brass policeman of the rank of major general is under investigation for smuggling illicit liquor on an official RTP flight. The Office of the National Anti-Corruption commission suggest it is part of a wider operation involving others. It is the latest scandal to hit the Royal Thai Police after a series of damaging cases being aired almost daily in the Thai media. Many levels of police rank could be involved, suggested Daily News. A post on the Facebook page of "Patibatkan Ma Fao Ban" said that two aircraft - a CN235-220M and a Falcon 2000 - had been ferrying untaxed beer and spirits from Hat Yai in the south to Bangkok from 2018 to 2020. Two senior officers were involved, it was claimed but a NACC investigation stalled as the officers rose through the ranks. The police's own regulatory authority are also now involved in the investigation said Daily News. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-13 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2021 Any of these people found to be involved or linked to these type of activities of corruption or abuse of power/status should immediately have all their assets frozen, investigated and stripped ! Very publicly. In reality, nothing will be done only "seen to be doing" for the media. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2021 There does not one week go by without another scandal involving this so-called "law enforcement agency". yet when a member or the general public blows the whistle or merely points out that the entire apparatus is rotten to the core, they are being prosecuted and slapped with draconian punishments for "damaging the reputation of the police". Go figure. 15 minutes ago, webfact said: Two senior officers were involved, it was claimed but a NACC investigation stalled as the officers rose through the ranks. So... who is going to investigate this supposed "anti-corruption body"? Somebody has been paid off for sure for "stalling". 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poskat Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 the stories we hear about are just tip of the iceberg this one will soon gone into the black hole of an investigating committee they will take a few months to invent with what the "misunderstanding" was and all will be well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is his own establishment, and he is a senior policeman then it is very probable that it has remained open for business throughout the closedown, like very many such "connected" establishments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danderman123 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I barely know anything about Thailand, but even I know about police being involved in all sorts of illicit activity, from running bars that are officially closed to operating live-streaming with ladies who apparently don’t care about Covid. Imagine Thai citizens who see this every day. And, of course, everyone knows that many transgressions can be wiped clean for some amount of baht, just the cost of doing business.

huangnon Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I used to get occasional cases of cheap Penfold's wine when I worked in Hat Yai. Smuggled over the border from MY.

Army, police, same same. I've yet to see one single high ranking military/police officer that's had to declare his assets not being a multi millionaire. And that's the declared assets so one can only guess which of the following explanations is correct: 1. They have to be rich to be allowed to become a high ranking officer. 2. They all have to be business geniuses turning meager salaries into fortunes. 3. There's something rotten in the state of Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they can justify investigating their own is beyond me, it gives no one the confidence to believe an enquiry will ever be impartial. At least the Joe Ferrari case was take on by another Police area. Edited September 13, 2021 by Asquith Production spelling mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
