webfact Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Weerachart Rasamee, the son-in-law of Thailand’s Deputy Interior Minister Chada Thaised, has stepped down from his role as municipal mayor following an arrest linked to alleged extortion charges. The incident unfolded in Uthai Thani province, with Weerachart being apprehended on Tuesday. Chada shared on Wednesday that Weerachart offered his apologies for the incident after being granted bail on Tuesday evening. In response, Chada advised his son-in-law to step down from his mayoral role, paving the way for a new mayor to be elected. Consequently, Weerachart tendered his resignation at 11pm on Tuesday. Prior to the arrest, 45 year old Weerachart was serving as the mayor of Talukdoo municipality in Thap Than district, Uthai Thani. He, along with four others, was taken into custody on Tuesday morning over accusations of extorting 600,000 baht (US$ 16,521) from a water contractor. All accused have denied the charges. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post Full story: The Thaiger 2023-10-26 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
