31-Fake-prosecutor-1.jpg

 

A scandal erupted after claims that a prosecutor in Thanyaburi district, Pathum Thani province, falsely recognized a man named Mongkol as a prosecutor. Despite not having the legal authority, he conferred a rank on Mongkol equivalent to a level five prosecutor.

 

The controversy arose after a letter was shared in a prosecutors' group chat. This letter, signed by the prosecutor's office in Thanyaburi on March 26 last year, endorsed Mongkol (last name withheld). The letter reportedly claimed that Mongkol, an advisor to the Director-General of Prosecution Investigation (Police Lieutenant Uthai, last name withheld), held a position similar to a level five prosecutor. It praised Mongkol for his discipline, ethics and public service, stating that the notice served as crucial proof.

 

Reportedly, Mongkol sought the certificate to gain a badge from the Ministry of Interior, which is usually given to officials of level five or higher. Many criticized this certification as unauthorized. The advisor's role Mongkol claimed is self-appointed and not aligned with any recognized prosecutorial rank.

 

The public took notice when Mongkol was arrested while posing as a prosecutor at a famous school and taking pictures with prominent individuals. He was also accused of bullying police officers and harassing a female prosecutor, the niece of a high-ranking police officer.

 

The case ignited discussions about the misuse of power and the validity of official certificates. Legal experts argue that the certification was illegitimate since it was given without appropriate authority.

 

Level five prosecutors hold substantial power, comparable to provincial or expert prosecutors, and are respected within the legal system. The unauthorised certification of Mongkol threatens the hierarchy and legal procedures within the prosecutorial system.

 

The Ministry of Interior, responsible for issuing badges Mongkol was pursuing, usually reserves these honours for high-ranking officials with outstanding service records. Mongkol's attempt to fraudulently obtain the badge has raised concerns about potential abuses in the future and the need for more stringent verification processes.
