[snoop1130]

 

The Appeals Court has upheld the acquittal of former rector of King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Thawil Phuengma, who was charged with embezzlement and other offences involving 1.6 billion baht in the institute’s bank accounts.

 

The court also ordered the acquittal of six co-defendants, but upheld the conviction of seven others.

 

The cases date back to 2015, when Crime Suppression Division police were asked to investigate the disappearance of a significant amount of money from the institute’s accounts, held at Siam Commercial Bank.

Was this not part of the UFO Cults embezzlement case involving the Wat Phra Dhammakaya and Phra Dhammachayo who fled the temple.?  If so, something is not right.
