webfact Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Chinese businessman “Tuhao” and 40 others indicted on multiple charges Chinese businessman Chaiyanat Kornchayanant, aka “Tuhao”, and 40 other suspects, several of whom are Chinese nationals, were indicted today (Thursday) on multiple charges, including drug trafficking and money laundering, at the Bangkok South Criminal Court. The move comes after the attorney-general, Naree Tantasathien, gave the greenlight for prosecutors to indict all 41 suspects on charges ranging from criminal association with multinational criminal gangs, drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, operating an entertainment venue without permission and hiring foreigners, to working without work permits and providing shelter to illegal immigrants. Former massage parlour tycoon Chuwit Kamolvisit played a key role in exposing what he described as “grey” Chinese businesses in Thailand, allegedly operated by Kornchayanant and his network.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 I doubt any Chinese national will ever face the death penalty here. All Master Xi has to do is send a brief text to Cha Cha reminding him of his place in the world, and his fealty to China. However, his name sounds suspiciously Thai. Is he Thai Chinese? If so, likely no protection from Xi. 14 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could overlook all the organised crime and drug and weapons trafficking bits but working without a work permit, hiring foreigners and providing shelter to illegal immigrants!? There's no going back from that. The death penalty is the only option here. 3 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post geisha Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 Well I’m quite surprised.Very quick on the mark. I’m not in favor of the death penalty, but this guy and his cronies need locking up for a long time .If only to discourage others doing the same. I very much doubt he’ll get the deathly penalty, probably quietly extradited at some time., Anyhow’, good riddance and well done Mr Chuwit and police who followed up’..Maybe things will change for the better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChrisY1 Posted January 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 This is fine....charge them and gaol them......but the real crime is letting them operate here with impunity....and that is the fault of the RTP and likely much higher up officials. None of these officials have actually been 1: Named or 2: been charged....a couple may have been shuffled about, but actually, nothing has eventuated! That is the real crime! 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzian Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Off topic, but only a bit. If Chuwit would expose the "agents providing evidence of 800K in the bank" system at Immigration, maybe the whole thing would blow up and instead of losing (tens of?) thousands of spending farangs the government would reform the system allowing a much more reasonable reserve requirement. I'm probably dreaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
