Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2023 A senior customs official and seven fish merchants have been arrested by police and customs officials for involvement in the trading of 132 tonnes of frozen fish, which was impounded in 2019 after being seized from a Somalian fishing vessel suspected of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU). At a joint press conference today (Thursday), Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, the deputy national police chief, and Patchara Anuntasilpa, director-general of the Customs Department, said that a total of 147 tonnes of frozen fish, contained in seven cargo containers, were impounded after the skipper of the vessel could not produce documents to prove the origin of the fish. According to customs procedures, the impounded fish could be sold to state officials or to people in the neighbourhood of the port where the fish in containers were kept, but not to merchants.

chalawaan Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Hakparn really is a bit of a local LEO legend. And I'm not talking about his ability to toast his own impressive success. He's the Jack Regan of Thailand. Edited June 15, 2023 by chalawaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see if I understand this correctly. If it could not be sold to merchants, how could the police sell them without becoming merchants themselves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
