 Chon Buri police commander and seven of his subordinates were transferred to the operations centre of the Royal Thai Police with immediate effect today (Saturday), pending a fact-finding probe into an allegation of extortion made against them.

 

The national police, Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittipraphat, appointed one of his deputies, Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, to head the investigation.

 

Pol Gen Kampol Leelapraphaporn, commander of the Chon Buri provincial police, is among ten people, including seven other police officers and two civilians, accused by six people of extorting about 140 million from them.

 

The complainants, who were accused of operating an online gambling website, filed a complaint with the Khu Khot police in Pathum Thani province yesterday (Friday).

They only reported it because Plod got too greedy.  A sensible ransom would have ensured silence.

Don't they think suspended is a better choice.

Sending bent cops to the operations center of the RTP must be like sending them to a corruption training center to learn new tricks from each other.

To be born male above a certain class in Thailand is to win the lottery of life.

 

Everything is cheap, serious money grows on trees, the higher up the tree the more money to harvest, and one has to really screw up to ever face justice. 

 

What a life!
