On 20 November 2024, the Administrative Court issued a statement addressing media reports regarding the Supreme Administrative Court’s decision in the case filed by Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, known as “Big Joke.”

 

He had petitioned to overturn the Royal Thai Police’s order for his temporary dismissal from service.  

 

The statement clarified that the case is still under review by the Supreme Administrative Court, which has not issued any verdict or order. Thailand's Administrative Court assured that it would inform the media of any decisions once they are made.  

Additionally, the court addressed reports by some media outlets that identified five individuals as the panel of judges deliberating the case.

 

These reports included their names and photographs, suggesting they were the presiding judges in the case. The court categorically denied this, stating that the information was inaccurate and did not reflect the reality of the judicial process.  

 

The Administrative Court reiterated the importance of accurate reporting to avoid public misunderstanding and reaffirmed its commitment to keeping the public informed with correct and timely updates, reported Siam Rath.

Upon further investigation, it was found that his wife Sirinadda Hakparn owned stocks in five companies worth over 10.17 million baht.

On September 26, 2023, he told the media, "As for the source of the money, I can answer where it all comes from: By receiving an inheritance from my wife's father when he died. It's almost a billion baht already. The inheritance that I am about to receive from my mother-in-law, who manages the wealth, is worth nearly a billion baht."
