"Big Joke" Gears Up for Additional Warrants in 140 Million Gambling Asset Seizure Case

[webfact]

 

Deputy Commissioner Pol. Lt. Gen. Surachet "Big Joke" Hakpal is ramping up efforts to issue more arrest warrants in the 140 million online gambling asset seizure case involving both civilians and police. Assurances have been made that the case should be concluded within the next two weeks.

 

On July 4th, at the Police Club, Deputy Commissioner Pol. Lt. Gen. Surachet Hakpal revealed updates on the case involving the former Chonburi Provincial Police Commander and his associates in the 140 million asset seizure from an online gambling website, reported Thai Rath.

 

Court approval will be sought to issue further arrest warrants for several implicated parties in the coming days. The case, which isn't complex, involves participants from both the police force and the general public, and any individuals proven culpable will be subjected to legal proceedings.

 

Notwithstanding, it's important to note that until an official court verdict is handed down, all implicated parties are considered innocent.The expectation is that legal proceedings will wrap up in roughly a fortnight.

 

Concurrently, law enforcement is scrutinizing potential money laundering activities to facilitate the confiscation of assets, in collaboration with the organization combating money laundering.

Funny enough, I believe this guy's intentions to be true as by now, he doesn't need to be on the take any longer having probably billions stashed somewhere already leaving his to his job properly.

It's always complex when police are involved.  Extra warrants are being sought to enable the guilty to make arrangements.

Previous articles were labeling this an "embezzlement" case, and now they've changed to "asset seizure" and "money laundering", "involv[ing] participants from both the police force and the general public".

 

Let's be clear: this case is about extortion committed by police officers. Why aren't they willing to say as much? And why all the cautions that "all implicated parties are considered innocent", something which is rarely if ever stated when average nobodies are arrested, paraded in front of cameras, and forced to "reenact" the offenses that they deny having committed?
