Typical Thailand. Rather than issue the arrest warrant immediately, they tell him to come in to acknowledge the charges against him. Basically telling him here is his chance to flee the country before he has to face these charges. They use the excuse of his position to give him this opportunity to run rather than them going to his house and making sure he is brought to the station to be arrested. This is the same tactic they have used many times for people with money or power who broke the law and there was enough evidence to convict them yet, they still have not learned from all those that have fled Thailand prior to their arrest or while on bail.

This current episode of Hapkarn's Follies feels like it is more about...

 

 - revenue sharing

 

- sending a message

 

 

Hapkarn will have to throw some/all of his Capos under the bus.

Arrest warrants issued in money laundering probe linked to illegal gambling

The arrest of three police officers and a civilian is on the horizon as warrants have been sanctioned in relation to allegations of money laundering tied to an illicit online gambling network. A high-ranking police officer has also been issued a summons in connection with the same case.

 

The Metropolitan Police Bureau’s deputy commissioner, Thinnakorn Rangmat, confirmed on Tuesday that the officer who will be summoned holds a general’s rank. However, he refrained from disclosing the identities of the accused individuals.

 

An insider privy to the investigation revealed that the arrest warrants were sought after the discovery of financial connections between the accused five individuals and the illegal online gambling site, BNKMaster. This website was shut down last year following a crackdown.


The investigation led to the revelation that funds were transferred to an associate of a senior police officer. Consequently, this aide has been slapped with money laundering charges.


Following the evaluation of the request by Thinnakorn Rangmat, the Criminal Court sanctioned the arrest warrants for the quartet and sent out a summons for the high-ranking officer, considering his seniority, as per the insider.

 

Lawyers representing deputy national police chief Surachate Hakparn, also known as ‘Big Joke,’ refuted claims on Tuesday that the court had summoned Surachate for interrogation. They acknowledged that an attempt was made to procure an arrest warrant for Surachate, but the evidence presented was deemed insufficient, reported Bangkok Post.

 

In related news, in a high-profile case, Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police, Surachate ‘Big Joke’ Hakparn, faced charges related to financial transactions with online gambling operators.

 

The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau raided his home over alleged involvement. Eight subordinates were implicated in the gambling ring. Further investigation revealed financial links, leading to charges against Big Joke and other high-ranking officers.

 

Despite his denial, evidence indicated his involvement, resulting in potential imprisonment. The case had significant repercussions within the RTP.

This guy is dirty as the rest of them TIT

He is?  How do you know that when even the police in charge of the case could not gather enough evidence to persuade a judge to issue an arrest warrant for him?

..."because we haven't actually got enough evidence against you to even get an arrest warrant issued!", as per the Bangkok Post quoting his lawyers.

He will be brought in to find out where he should send his next batch of brown envelopes, then all will be right in the world again.

When have the RTP ever cared about evidence when a witchhunt is underway?

Looks like he's a chestful of amulets, judging by the chainz.
