The Criminal Court acquitted Myanmar magnate Tun Min Latt and Senator Upakit Pacharirangkun’s son-in-law, Dean Young Gultula, of drug trafficking charges. The ruling cited insufficient evidence, leaving jaws dropping in disbelief.

 

The charges were filed against Tun Min Latt, the Myanmar businessman, and Gultula, along with two others and the Allure Group (P&E) Co., Ltd., an electricity supply business. The allegations suggested involvement in a criminal organisation, engaging in serious drug offences between February 22 and May 10, 2019. The accused supposedly conspired to procure methamphetamine, listed as narcotics (Category 1).

 

Roles were assigned to the accused, managing money transactions and dealing drugs through the company’s accounts. The entire operation was cunningly disguised as payment for electricity bills to the Provincial Electricity Authority in Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai district. Shockingly, funds allegedly gained from drug trafficking were funnelled into goods categorised as electricity supplies, and exported to Myanmar.

... and here's what these vermin are up to besides drugs, nicely supported by plenty of bat-eating perps btw.

At least a dozen such clusters (...) directly at the burmese/thai border in or around their hyped special industrial zones (or whatever they call it), plenty of collaboration, no doubt ...

 

Quote: Thousands of people are trafficked worldwide into Myanmar's war-torn east, where they are forced to trick people in Europe, the US and China into scam schemes. At KK Park, one of the most notorious facilities, those who refuse risk torture and even murder. DW’s investigative unit went to the borderlands of Thailand and Myanmar to track down the perpetrators behind this multimillion-euro operation. Along the way, they uncovered a vast criminal network leading to a notorious Chinese Triad boss.

What number was Thailand for the most corrupt countries in the world

 

Do you mean before or after Thai authorities paid to move up the list?

 

 

The magnate and the senator represented their respective countries' illegal interests: drugs/precursors, money laundering, human trafficking, and overcoming sanctions/embargoes.

 

Both have "managers" who made sure these pesky court cases were dealt with.

 

 

Now round up a few hundred more low level drugs users.
