[webfact]

 

Thai Interpol are expected to issue Red notices today (Sunday) for two civilians who are alleged to be involved with a group of police officers in extorting about 140 million baht from alleged members of an illegal online gambling gang.

 

Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, the deputy national police chief, who has been put in charge of investigating the extortion case, in which eight police officers, including Chon Buru provincial police commander, Pol Maj-Gen Kampol Leelaprapaporn, are implicated, said today that the two civilians have left Thailand.

 

Kampol and his seven subordinates were transferred to the operations centre of the Royal Thai Police headquarters yesterday, pending the outcome of an investigation.

 

Surachate also said that summonses will be issued for the police officers to acknowledge the charges against them.

In the same bin as the "other one" ... if you get my drift.

Didn't they mess up the application as no-one in RTP had enough English to fill in the form correctly? 

The two 'escaped' civilians will now become the fall guys whilst The Crooked Eight  put their feet up for a spell in the overcrowded Inactive Duty building.

Why does Thailand have its own Interpol? That makes no sense. Surely they should be requesting INTERPOL (Inernational) to issue Red Notices for the two individuals who have left Thailand? ????
