Popular Post webfact Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul hailed police and anti-corruption officials for the arrests, in Uthai Thani province yesterday (Tuesday), of the son-in-law of Deputy Interior Minister Chada Thaised and four other people charged with extortion and bribery. He said that the arrests of the three local officials and two civilians is a clear indication that no one is above the law,despite their political connections. One of the suspects was identified as Veerachart Rassamee, mayor of Taluk Do sub-district and the son-in-law of Chada. The two other municipal officials are the vice major and the chief engineer of the municipality. “He (Veerachai) is just a son-in-law. The father-in-law (Chada) is just the person who received the dowry. He can’t dictate his son-in-law’s actions,” said Anutin, as he commented on the case. Chada has been assigned by Anutin to crack down on Mafia-style influential figures across the country.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 Just look at the smirk on his face. To think he has continued to be one of the nation's leaders is a rather bizarre thought. So sad. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Arrested for sure as public opinion in Thailand is shifting and corruption is no longer tolerated. But once in detention, will they get VIP treatment that any other falang joe soap would never have got obviously ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarius Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 He's been arrested and charged. There is no suggestion he will be found guilty or punished. Indeed I think a small slap on the wrist is brewing as soon as there is a big news story dominating the news to cover the story of this pooyai turd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Anutin suggesting the dowery may have been 'saved' by corrupt practices, before it was given to Chada? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dogmatix Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 This was a big raid on 8 different locations with several high level cops and officials from the PACC which deals with public sector corruption. It must have been sanctioned from the top of the police force. Thaksin was obviously not happy at having to give up the interior ministry to BJP as Anutin's price for supporting Srettha as PM but had no choice. Thaksin is an ex-cop and has always promoted police interests above other agencies. Anutin and Chada have already got above themselves usurping police powers, as in the raid on a Patum Thani pub without any police involved and drawing up death lists of local kamnans etc. This looks a bit like a power struggle to stop Anutin and Chada off police patches. A bit loss of face for them that mafia local officials are lurking in Chada's own family when he is claiming to go to war with them but, of course, keeping all the details secret which is highly suspicious. If the Interior Ministry has information of criminal activities amongst local officials appointed by the ministry itself, it should provide all the information to police and conduct an internal investigate as who in the ministry appointed all of these criminals and why. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Anutin suggesting the dowery may have been 'saved' by corrupt practices, before it was given to Chada? A peculiar comment by Anutin. It does sound as you say that Anutin is trying to make out that Chada accepted a large dowry from the suspect with no idea that he was a criminal and he was receiving ill gotten gains. But if, as is likely, it was a very substantial dowry, Chada must have had his suspicions about how a lowly local mayor could have acquired it.

How's that going? Last I heard (BP today) he had completed his "list", with 180 individuals who are "actively" influential, and another 625 individuals who have agreed to reform themselves. Ten provinces are free of influential people. Sounds like corruption has been eliminated. Phew, I feel better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
