You don't get the point.  The charges he faced carried a 5-year sentence.

For driving a car to golf? 5555

"Driving a car to golf" wasn't the charge.  21 charges of corruption and misconduct were.

He's not going to jail, it's all for show.

 

When I lived in Isarn, the director of my daughter's school was charged with giving 40 million baht as a bribe to get his job. In court, 9 Ministry of Education officials went to jail for accepting the bribe but the school director was innocent!

Or "corruption and misconduct"...the actual charges they all faced

Or ”consistency” then given the endemic nature of that in Thailand. Again ,proportionality too, given the Sums involved. Were they way above the typical official this 50 years ?

Seems a bit excessive, Thai courts are weird!

He got off lightly. Misuse of public office in Thailand carries a maximum sentence of death and has been so for very many years. Those members of staff who know about it and do not report it are also classed as complicit which is actually counter productive His staff must have been promised amnesty for informing on him

He was probably flogging the army’s old stock of GT-2000 drug/golf ball detectors from the boot to fellow players and they notified the authorities that they still couldn’t find their balls.

Out of all the crimes Thai public officials are suspected of using a government vehicle for private use could hardly be considered to be urgent.

 

Unless of course, he was beating senior army players in the golf competition. Then it’s fully justified !

Not for 21 counts of murder!

Ok, let me rephrase that then, 50 years for using a a company car privately is fricking ridiculous!!!! This would result in a fine in most other countries!
