Whereabouts of the ฿140m online gambling extortion money a mystery

[snoop1130]

 

Police are still in the dark over the whereabouts of the 140 million baht, which is alleged to have been paid to police officers and civilians implicated in extorting money from an illegal online gambling network, but they will summon a key member of the gang for questioning, according to Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, the deputy national police chief who is overseeing the investigation.

 

He said today (Monday) that the gambling platform operator, identified only as “Pe”, might be able to provide a clue as to the money’s location, because he was the one who gave some of the bribe to the alleged extortionists.

 

He also said that the police officers involved in the crackdown on the gambling network had considered revoking the arrest warrant against Pe after he paid the money.

Notice how when it is a triumphant success for the steely eyed bringers of justice it is " Big Jok", when it is a bit more embarrassing it is "Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn".

The thin line has to be financed somehow...

Officers warned of a thin line between crime and policing

 

the thinner the line, the more it costs (old Thai proverb)

If the alleged sum was paid it would have been in cash to avoid an electronis trail. Did it come out of the 'donors' petty cash box under a bed (cash-flow) or was it withdrawn from their bank accounts?

PE maybe Knows and has documented the Names and the amounts off the Bribes .

But he may not come forward with this information as he may fear for His Health.
