webfact Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A 47-year old Danish man, Jesper Jensen, denied the allegations of theft in his first hearing in the Samut Prakan Provincial Court in Thailand on Monday, the 19 February 2024. Three months after the Dane’s arrest, his statement has now been recorded by the court of law. The Danish man was arrested on 18 November 2023 in Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and is accused of stealing an expensive Celine handbag and five less expensive items in the bag. The defendant entered the courtroom around 10 am, approximately an hour after plan, without his defense lawyer. He walked in, limping, and with a bent back as he gripped the chains around his ankles in order to keep them from chafing his skin. He is a tall man, with a shaved head and tattoos on both arms. The brown shorts and sand colored shirt were baggy around his body, and the number 12, printed in white on his back, indicated that he is a prisoner. He walked down to the wooden benches in the back, sitting next to a female prisoner with the number four. No official statement After some time the defense lawyer entered the courtroom. He hastily went up to the Dane, to get him to sign a statement, saying he denied the allegation and would defend himself in a court of law. The defense lawyer had not prepared an official statement of what the Dane claims had happened in the airport when he was arrested, on 18 November 2023. The lawyer said, he had not yet had the time to visit the Dane in prison. by Charlotte Nike Albrechtsen Full story: ScandAsia 2024-02-22 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

It may sound counter-intuitive, but those numbers may actually be fortuitous given that they met by kismet. They should play those numbers in the lottery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steven100 Posted February 22 Popular Post Share Posted February 22 (edited) He sounds old and feeble even though he's only 47yrs old. Heavily tattooed, chained and shackled for allegedly stealing a Celine handbag .... seems a bit over the top considering Thai's get less for stabbing someone.

Popular Post Korat Kiwi Posted February 22 Popular Post Share Posted February 22 So it's been 3 months in captivity and his defence lawyer hasn't had time to visit him yet! The Dane is probably feeling quite relaxed with all that..... Hell don't bother coming to see me this year as I won't answer the door anyways. Incredible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouse123 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Police can keep them on remand for 84 days, after which point he must face a court or be released. Seems a bit off that the appointed lawyer couldn't manage to get a statement for the court in the preceding three months, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not at all, and it wasn't "a silly challenge", I just know that there are no such examples, if there were you'd have quoted them for the poster to whom I was addressing my comment who couldn't come up with one example, either.

Sigmund Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 A bit of cynicsm all over here...but would you giggle as much if tomorrow, you...yes you were caught in some scam or attempt to extort money and wrongfully arrested and jailed ? People all over need money in these difficult times and all means seem ok to get their hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
