webfact Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Embattled deputy national police chief, Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, called a press conference today to declare his innocence, after he was among five police officers charged by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) for allegedly extorting money from an illegal online gambling network. He disclosed that, after his house was searched on September 25th last year in connection with the “Minny” online gambling network investigation, he and his four subordinates were charged with extortion, but he has not yet been summoned to acknowledge the charge. The case is also being investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), related to alleged malfeasance in office, in accordance with Section 157 of the Criminal Code, but the CIB has asked for the case to be returned to them for further investigation. Surachate said he suspects that the charges against him are intended to discredit him, adding that the NACC has not yet filed any charges against him, after having accepted the case for investigation. The Minnie online gambling network is reported to have had about 300 million baht transferred into its coffers from numerous “mule” bank accounts.

Extortion? This is the first time I've seen a reference to this charge. This begs for a Netflix show, Siam Sopranos. “If You Mention Extortion Again, I’ll Have Your Legs Broken.” Mayor Carmine DePasto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 As Deputy National police chief, we refuse to believe you are not corrupt. Where have you been hiding your fortune? You are guilty. We hope you get locked up, though we know that is unlikely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
