Oh no not in Thailand transferred not sacked swept under the carpet as usual

And almost right on que....the top cop is transferred!

We all know the investigation into this gambling den is just the usual pantomime from the RTP. They have known and benefitted for a long time!

There must be independent people checking the legality of entertainment venues. And they also have to find out why they were allowed to operate illegally. And violations must be severely punished. One might think the Mountain B fire desaster should have been motivation enough to get rid of such illegal businesses... 

Anyone want to bet this place was on the list that was given to Big joke.

 

RTP is going to have to go after these now that it is in the open.

 

You can not fire someone until after it is proven in court.  Therefore you remove the person from the area and let independent (?) parties look into it.

Yes, that is the way it should happen, but it won't, if it does then that's because the top brass whether it is soldiers, police or the unelected government officials, they will always look after themselves first.

Indeed, what took them so long? 4 months? Who are they kidding? And what happens to the bribe money? Will those I’ll-gotten gains ever be retrieved from the culprits somehow? What a charade!

I thin that you are going to see a lot of the mid-top cops that are shady getting charged and released.  The big thing is that the new guy came in with the mantra of no corruption.

 

Therefore anyone who is stupid enough to bring attention to themselves is going to get hung out to dry as show pieces to say see we are doing it.

Having read the above posts I am now ashamed of myself. I thought the transfer was to give him time to re-register the white Rolls Rpyce....????
