snoop1130 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Fugitive former culture minister Itthiphol Kunplome has offered to surrender to face corruption charges, in connection with the illegal issuance of a permit for the construction of a condominium in Pattaya. Niwatchai Kasemmongkol, secretary-general of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), told the media today (Friday) that Itthiphol had offered to surrender, but declined to elaborate. He did say that the former culture minister could, however, surrender to any governmental agency, because the warrant for his arrested was issued by a court, adding that he will be arrested on sight anyway.

Apples did not fall far from the tree in that family. I remember when he first became mayor. He was hyped as a real boy wonder. Those days are long gone for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenStark Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 The original article of the arrest warrant stated that the statute of limitation on the charges were reached about 3 days after the arrest warrant was issued. So what they gonna charge him with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted September 23 Popular Post Share Posted September 23 A good start. Now, lets see a real investigation of the high crimes committed by the "three Pors" and other ministers within the toxic and horrific Prayuth administration. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, they're all criminals in some way or another... Just not all of them have actually been prosecuted and convicted yet.

chickenslegs Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 About 2-3 weeks ago the local radio station was reporting that the Limitation of Proceedings in the case was due to expire on 10 September 2023.
