Popular Post webfact Posted Wednesday at 01:50 AM Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 01:50 AM In an unexpected twist, Thailand’s suspended top policemen, Pol General Torsak Sukvimol and his deputy Pol General Surachate Hakparn, have been reinstated to their posts. Both were sidelined in March under corruption suspicions involving high-stakes online gambling, but a Prime Minister-appointed committee cleared them, prompting their return. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin reinstated the police duo after a three-man fact-finding committee completed its three-month investigation. Despite apparent tension, the committee led by Chatchai Phromlert declared insufficient evidence to keep them suspended. Critics denounce this as a "farce," hinting at secret deals aligning political and power plays rather than justice. The police feud, once heated, saw both high-ranking officers dramatically sidelined. Surachate, often called “Big Joke” and key in southern political dynamics, and Torsak, the current police chief, were embroiled in investigations linking them to online gambling and corruption. Their suspension initially aimed to cleanse the ranks; however, their swift reinstatement signals unresolved issues and potential backroom deals. Surachate's dismissal of the implications hasn't gone unnoticed. Following cybercrime raids targeting his property for money laundering, his return confounds many. Torsak faces scrutiny over undeclared assets, extending the controversy further. The Prime Minister holds the final say amidst an ongoing investigation, with the two officers needing to defend their cases independently. Simultaneously, Surachate has legally challenged his dismissal, threatening to take further action if the matter isn't resolved. The police commission is to review these developments soon, leaving Thailand’s policing future hanging in the balance. Amidst outcry for transparency, public trust wanes as the police forces navigate this turmoil. As Thailand watches closely, outcomes of upcoming reviews promise more drama, leaving citizens questioning the very essence of their justice system.
