An unnamed source says Thailand’s deputy national police chief may be arrested if he fails to report to police for a third time.

 

Surachate Hakparn (yes, the one often nicknamed ‘Bog Joke’ in the Thai media) has been summonsed on two previous occasions to hear charges of money laundering, but has failed to show each time, according to a Nation Thailand report.

 

On Wednesday, March 27, a third summons was issued, which requires Surachate to present himself by April 1. Having failed to do so twice, he could be arrested if there’s a third offence.

A little early in the season for a beach holiday

With family in St. Johns Wood

Due back on Monday to clear everything up.

How many times did "Boss" fail to turn up? Was it six?

He was never arrested.

Still travelling the world 'free as a bird' after killing the policeman 12 years ago.

 

Go for it BJ.    Still many 'final' warnings to go.

who is this bog joke? a doppelganger of big joke? 

anyways, he's prolly partying with the red bull guy

Go Big Joke......if you are guilty, then go on and stay on there lam for a few years. If not guilty come home and fight it out in court. Personally I would be pursuing a guarantee of 'no arrest' now we speak before retiring to Thailand. 

Let us hope this incredibly corrupt man is finally brought to task. As the deputy director of the police nobody knows how much money he's been banking, and has parked overseas.

 

Lock up the big joke.

BB, big boss has billions, BJ only millions,$of course. 

Millions in Baht any mid-level cop can acquire. Very little through official salary. 

Is that enough to stay out of prison?

A lot has to do with the power within the top brass and "friends" in high places in government. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Could be, will be, may be,

You're probably right,  because they are all dirty. And the dirtiest of them all is the de facto PM.

He will present himself to his peers who will 'understand'. Just back off a little BJ, we will set up a commission to look into this matter along with the things that this meddling lawyer Sittra has uncovered and after a few years of thorough investigation, when all has been forgotten, we will find that every one was innocent.

Of course he was never arrested, that's because on each occasion the police had agreed, with his lawyer, to deferring the meeting, there was no arrest warrant issued until after he'd gone to Singapore.

 "...nobody knows,,,"

And that includes you, you know nothing about it, factually, yet you continue to assert that he "is incredibly corrupt".

There is no Interpol notice for Surachate, there is not even an arrest warrant.

Perhaps he is still busy sorting out his banking stuff...........🤗

Not at all, didn't say that I was, or that I do!    I do know, though, that he has not been found guilty of any corruption yet, never mind being "incredibly corrupt".  If you know otherwise, empirically, then post it.

"Big Joke to appear on April 1st!"   You couldn't make this up LOL

Soon the clues will all line up and even you can then decipher them .

And until the "clues" become proven facts, not speculation, he will remain not guilty.    Are you suggesting that you are privy to all the evidence, clues, as you refer to it?   That's odd after trying to call me a know-it-all!

You seem consumed by this story for some reason .. Fortunately I'm not 

Looks like we have seen the last of "Big Joke"

My first ever food poisoning, thanks to Fish and Chips in Blackpool. So bad I had to be admitted to the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester to rehydrate and I could not eat or even see fish & chips for several years 🙂
