snoop1130 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 A recent internal investigation revealed the involvement of the Excise Department’s Prevention and Suppression Bureau director in a case regarding illegal oil transportation, intercepted by the Highway Police on June 7. The unnamed director’s alleged involvement came to light when he reportedly contacted the Highway Police Department (HPD) in an attempt to secure the release of a detained driver and his tanker, stopped on Phetkasem Road in Prachuap Khiri Khan following suspicions of unlawful oil transport. The HPD personnel refused to comply with the director’s request. Despite the director’s attempt to speak with Pol. Maj. Gen. Jaroonkiat Pankaew, the Anti-Corruption Division (ACD) commander, who also holds the position of acting HPD commander, Pol. Maj. Gen Jaroonkiat declined. Eaknithi Nithithanprapas, the director-general, ordered an investigation into the matter of illegal oil transportation, aiming for a resolution within seven days from June 7, reported Bangkok Post. The inquiry concluded with the suspension of the director on Tuesday for a serious disciplinary violation, as announced by deputy director-general Kriengkrai Pattanaporn. Moreover, the Excise Department requested additional information from the HPD to assist with any potential prosecutions involving department employees related to the illegal oil scandal case.

billd766 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 No doubt that the tanker driver will be the main fall guy here, though he was only doing his job of delivering his load from point A to point B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true. The question I have is who called the Excise Director about the stoppage of the tsnker or how who got him involved. Let's hear that part of the story 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overregulation is here the bigger problem.......A Thai problem: a law for everything, but no one follows it, often no one even knows it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything/anything is regulated or monitored in one fashion or another. Sounding a bit like what goes on in the U.S. - every aspect of existence is ruled over by government or corporations. A sad state for our beloved Thailand when we find it necessary to be copy-cats of an already dystopian civilisation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a transport of smuggled oil "from the south" so probably Malaysia. It's been a regular thing for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
