Popular Post snoop1130 Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 Senator Upakit Pachariyangkun was formally indicted today on narcotics trafficking, money laundering and association with a transnational criminal organisation charges. The senator has denied all the charges and applied for bail, by placing five million baht in cash as a surety. The court is yet to decide whether to grant bail. Prayut Petchkun, spokesman for the Office of the Attorney-General, said that Senator Upakit’s case will be separately tried from the case of his Burmese business associate, Tun Min Latt, who was arrested in Thailand in August last year and who is currently on trial on similar charges. Also arrested was Dean Young Gultula, Upakit’s son-in-law.

Popular Post bamnutsak Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 For a while, it looked like this scuzz-bucket would skate. He was indicted back in March, and an arrest warrant was issued and quietly withdrawn.

THAI POLICE SEIZE A RECORD HAUL OF 50 MILLION METHAMPHETAMINE TABLETS NEAR BORDER WITH MYANMAR BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police have seized what is being called a record haul of methamphetamine tablets in the western province of Kanchanaburi, close to the Myanmar border. Officers found an estimated 50 million tablets hidden in sacks in a six-wheeler truck they stopped at a joint police-military checkpoint on Tuesday. The occupants of the truck – a man and a woman – were arrested. The quantity of methamphetamine tablets seized is a record for Thailand, Jeremy Douglas, the Southeast Asia regional representative for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, said Wednesday. The region’s biggest known seizure took place in neighboring Laos in October 2021, when a consignment of 55 million pills was discovered. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/12/13/thai-police-seize-a-record-haul-of-50-million-methamphetamine-tablets-near-border-with-myanmar/ 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 13 hours ago, bamnutsak said: Officers found an estimated 50 million tablets You're not talking about some Mom and Pop kitchen operation. There must be some major production facilities producing these tablets. Read "Drug traffickers smuggling crystal meth past South East Asia security - UN", June 2023 https://www.bbc.com Included is yaba. If Mynamar is a major production point, it would seem the military junta government shouldn't have much difficulty identifying and suppressing such production being trafficking to ASEAN countries where the street value can be 10 times higher in Bangkok. Yet what we hear is the efforts of Thailand and China to suppress meth distribution. What is Mynamar doing? Self funding? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
