The retired officials are Chatchai Promlert, former interior permanent secretary, as head of the probe panel, former deputy attorney-general Chartpong Jiraphan and Pol Lt-Gen Winai Thongsong, a former deputy national police chief. The appointment order, issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, said that the scandal has attracted widespread public interest and has seriously affected public confidence in the justice system in Thailand, at a time when the government is trying to crack down on Mafia-type influential figures and illegal activities, especially online gambling business.

Very true. About 18 years ago, I was at a cops house. ( gf family) He went to work in the morning, signed on, come back two hours latter and continued running his football gambling business online. whilst we drank Johnnie walker black label. just so funny at the time. Amazing Thailand. Ps, Most stories I tell, are just a figment of my imagination. That should cover all bases.
