Thai military faces renewed bribery allegations involving US firm


Recommended Posts

It will never change, the military run this country and always will. I would still like just one reporter to have the balls and ask "why does Thailand need fighter jets or submarines ?"

 Just one, even if they get a slap.

Thailand doesn't really need them, it's for the kiddy tin soldiers to play with, "toys for the boys"

This commitment from the NACC follows Deere’s agreement to pay US$9.93 million (approximately 336 million baht) to settle charges by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The charges indicated that Deere’s Thai subsidiary, Wirtgen Thailand, bribed state agencies to win procurement contracts.

Of this I have no doubt.

I doubt anyone in existence questions how corrupt, dishonest, and dangerous the Thai military is, but when will someone do anything about it?

On the 35th day of Octember, which comes a million and a bit days after the 12th of never in the Thai military calendar.

 

I thought that one of the reasons that Prayuth pulled his illegal military coup 10 years ago was to crack down on corruption. I guess he must have missed that one amongst the many others that he also missed.

They can't answere the question, because they don't know.

I think it might be more about the skim off these massive multi-billion baht contracts.

Already done and dusted in the US. Huge fines, employees dismissed, yada yada.

In Thailand, Thai officials will start to begin to consider to prepare to plan to form a committee to investigate possible allegations of accusations of a supposed series of putative bribes as the statute of limitations approaches.

Well, those findings are in another country therefore do not count. (Just ask our resident Heroin minister)

Any investigations within Thailand to find out who the the beneficiaries were?

 

 

No chance....they've had years to do something about this.

Taken a page out of Netanyahu handbook. He didn’t deny any wrongdoing, rather it will be dealt with after addressing immediate issues. He sounds confident that the tracks are well covered and relevant people have been bribed too.

That's  for the major players, their actual presence is for the toy value, Oh! and not forgetting children's day each year, at which time there is at least some benift for the real children.

Same thing with the police.
