Popular Post webfact Posted October 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2023 IN WHAT WAS SEEN as a rare court case, a senior government official in Yasothon was today (Oct. 12) sentenced to a maximum of 50 years in jail for having often turned a state-owned vehicle bearing the phrase “for official use only” into private use. The Criminal Court On Corruption & Misconduct for the northeastern region ruled that Rungrak Lukbua, head of the Yasothorn Provincial Administration’s Education, Religion and Culture Section has been found guilty as earlier charged by the provincial branch of the National Anti-Corruption Commission of having perpetrated misconduct by turning the state-own sedan primarily provided for official use into private use as if it was his own possession for nearly two years. Between 2014 and 2016, the state-owned car had not been parked in the premises of the provincial administration but evidently found at Rungrak’s home in Saimun district and been often used by the defendant to shuttle himself to and from an army golf course where he had played golf.

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted October 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Elkski said: This needs to happen more but 5-10 hard years would be adequate. I like that his superiors suffered s bit. But should be half his sentence. This is a start. A very good start Thailand. Hope trump gets justice like this. What on earth has the ludicrous "over sentencing" of a relatively junior official for misuse of official vehicles in a remote province in Thailand ( a sentence obviously related to him crossing someone with influence) got to do with Trump? Or, come to think of it, with justice? Edited October 13, 2023 by herfiehandbag 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
