An authorised lawyer for General Surachate Hakparn or ‘Big Joke’, 27-year-old Ms Pimpisut Chanlert, requested an extension of ten days for the top policeman to deliver his testimony in the money laundering case against him. She filed the request on Wednesday at Tao Poon Police Station, which is prosecuting the case. She cited a need to collate large volumes of data to properly present his defence.


‘Big Joke’ seeks 10-day delay in money laundering case. Bangkok police station handles cases against him and the police chief amid intense scrutiny. It follows a complaint filed by lawyer-activist Sittra Biebangkerd there against the police chief General Torsak Sukwimol.


A lawyer for suspended Deputy National Police Chief General Surachate Hakparn, on Wednesday, asked for a 10-day extension to submit his defence testimony in the money laundering case against him. 27-year-old Ms Pimpisut Chanlert made the request under the glare of media cameras at Tao Poon Police Station in Bangkok. The country is avidly watching the progress of this case. It sees Thailand’s most popular policeman fighting for his career. General Surachate is charged before the court with money laundering.

 

The case is linked to the illegal gambling website BNK Master. At the same time, similar and extensive allegations concerning dozens of police officers and suspended National Police Chief, Torsak Sukwimol are also being examined at the same police station. It follows a criminal complaint by lawyer Sittra Biebangkerd. However, no prosecution or charges have been decided upon in that case.

 

Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police, Police General Surachate Hakparn, commonly known as ‘Big Joke,’ has requested a postponement in providing testimony for his ongoing money laundering case.

 

A representative from his legal team, attorney Ms Pimpisut Chanlert, attended Tao Poon Police Station on April 17, 2024.

"Sittra says there is no evidence against General Surachate"

 

This from the lawyer chasing the corrupt cops. Read the whole article here. No more I hate him therefore he's guilty blah.

Why get worked up about corrupt cops fighting each other because one believes another has been taking bigger cuts?

 

How does it affect the average long-stay foreigner, ? it doesn't.

How many people knew what he was doing? How many people pretended they didn't see it? How many profited?

How many influential people want that all those who profited in above case will be exposed?

And if they are exposed and be punished, what will they expose in return?

 

I am sure many of those influential people will somehow make arrangements that not too many of them will be exposed.

Imagine business as usual would be disrupted? Where should the money for the luxury cars and mia nois come from?
