Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, yesterday expressed his firm belief in Chada Thaiset, his deputy, to successfully combat mafia-style gangs and diminish their influence on local administrative organisations across Thailand.

 

The 56 year old deputy PM entrusted Thaiset with a nationwide mission last week to scrutinise all influential local leaders suspected of affiliations with mafia-like gangs and blacklist them if any connections were discovered to eradicate mafia influence in the nation.

 

This assignment was a reaction to a violent incident that occurred at a dinner party at the residence of a prominent local leader in Nakhon Pathom’s Mueang district late last week. The incident involved the shooting of a highway patrol officer, resulting in his death, and injury to another. This event sparked nationwide interest and ignited a fresh discussion about corruption and mafia influence in public services.

When questioned about setting a deadline for Thaiset to complete this mission, Anutin stated it would be unnecessary, given that corruption is a persistent issue that demands continuous supervision from all involved parties.

There is obviously money in it if Anutin is sniffing around this

Hope he starts with the Police first.

The biggest of them all….on street level anyway.

Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul. Huh? Are they serious? This incompetent is not only still around, but is now the holder of these two posts? Now we know for certain Thailand is doomed. He was such a failure at health minister, they promoted him? The irony of this army crony promising to root out corruption. I remember vividly when Cha Cha made that same promise 9 long years ago. He did no such thing. If anything, it only got worse. Such goons. Such liars. Such actors. Give him an acting award.

When I saw the title, I thought it was cracking down on the cops here TIT

According to my Godfather crystal ball - It’s an old tactic.. eradicating triads or mafia means - uniting all to pledge loyalty to the very same people who wants to ‘e’ them ????????????.. it’s big big Money n big time power base development ????????????

????????????????????

 

This guy is a joke, always has been and he is not getting any better.  Clowns like this running and ruining Thailand.  I know, I know TIT!

The police filled the vacuum left by the eradication of the mafia leaders 2 decades ago. If there is a need to bring them into line again then the right person is here to do that. That this guy is even saying such a thing makes me believe such a move is already underway. 

Well, given that "Bangkok Traffic" was assigned and said to be solved by 2022, it's not too much to expect that mafia-style gangs - which are literally part of the Thai social fabric - will be eradicated.

 

You could make a point that the entire Thai social pyramid is built on the mafia and corruption. And that most of the power and authority rests with corrupt organizations.

 

There is no shame on senior politicos like Anutin who proclaims this sort of gibberish with a straight face.

 

Start with the RTP. And then stop giving Chinese visa free entry. 

Start at the top Anutin. That's easiest.
Just look around you and work your way down.

Could get a tad embarrassing if he does as he's told.

thereby he is saying that the police (as an "involved party") needs to supervise its own corruption continuously

It will quickly turn awkward coz they will soon realized they are cracking down on themselves....the government

Deputy Prime Minister Anutin - could be worse I suppose, but let's be thankful for small mercies - he could be Prime Minister!!!

So you let the Chinese Mafia enter on No Visas ffs and Russia Visa agreements 

Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown, I mean Koh Tao. ????

Brilliant! 
 

Perhaps he can start with the RTP and work his way down the food chain.

If you root it out who is going to be around.????

He is right can't set a deadline 

" persistent " is being kind. Setting a deadline puts him out of a job. 

 

 

In the old west they say the best lawmen were ex-crims but I think in this case that may be a bit of a stretch. How the f*** does this guy keep popping up where you’d least expect. A classic square peg in a round hole every time he squirms his way into government. 

I can hardly believe it ! Anutin and now Chada , who is possibly one of the most dangerous to ever be in Thai Politics ! Chada’s background and inheritance speaks volumes . He is up there on the list of most corrupt politicians in the world .  To complete the picture , how about Thammanat as chief of Police ?

I have a firm belief that one day pigs will learn to fly

Is this man still in office??

Anoutin just start at your home with yourself.

Hang on, isn’t he affiliated with the group nicknamed the ‘Buriram Mafia’?

He couldn't even crack down on a nut if he was given a nutcracker.
