Former Pattaya Mayor Cleared of Legal Charges Involving Waterfront Condo as Statute of Limitations Expires - The Pattaya News

The charges, which date back to 2008 during Ittipol’s mayoral term in Pattaya, were dropped after the court recognized that the 15-year statute of limitations had lapsed as of September 2023.  The case’s conclusion comes after Ittipol’s brief departure to Cambodia on September 5th, 2023, following the Attorney General’s Office’s initiation of legal proceedings. Ittipol’s return to Thailand on October 9, 2023, marked the end of his month-long absence.

The charges were filed BEFORE the statue of limitations ran out...

 

But

 

 They  then realized if the mayor was charged then the government might very well be on the hook for huge massive piles of millions of dollars..

 

So what happens?

 

O- We cant charge him now because of the statue of BS BS BS....lol

 

And now we dont have to admit to any responsibility in the matter..

 

Hopewell part 2 here......

 

We stopped the project after investors spent millions on it...

 

And were not paying Jack....

Good to know if you get charged and flee the country, the clock doesn't pause and you can simply wait it out.

There is a very well  known example of that currently ongoing. Not big on bringing wealthy and hi-so people to justice here.

If this is true, its the first I have heard about it...I wonder if the charges were for real or just lip service?
