A Thai woman recently filed a complaint with the Damrong Dharma Centre, alleging that a police officer at a Mueang Lampang Police Station in the northern province of Lampang had embezzled 75,000 baht from her.

 

The woman, Auttaporn, claims that she was charged with buying some stolen property in 2021 and was released on bail for 75,000 baht. After the court dismissed the charge, she was supposed to get her bail money back, but the police officer in question did not return her money. According to Auttaporn, the officer told her that he had spent the money but promised to pay her back. After two years she has not received a single baht.

The officer in question reportedly gave Auttaporn 10,000 baht and promised to return the rest of the money on April 30. However, that day came and went, and Auttaporn is still out of pocket. When she tried to contact the officer, she was unable to reach him, so she decided to file a complaint at the Damrong Dharma Centre, which is a place where people can file complaints against government officials.
