In a decisive ruling, the Supreme Administrative Court has rejected an appeal by former Deputy Police Commissioner Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, affirming the legitimacy of his dismissal from the police force over charges of malfeasance. Surachate had argued that his removal, supported by the police commissioner general, the police good governance protection committee, and the prime minister, should be halted pending his trial.

 

Despite his efforts, the court found no grounds to delay the dismissal order, thereby upholding the actions taken by the authorities. This decision doesn't just affect Surachate; seven additional officers associated with him have similarly been dismissed. These officers, including Surachate, have already been implicated in serious disciplinary breaches linked to the MBK online gambling website.

 

 

With the court backing the dismissal, this case underscores the gravity of corruption charges within Thailand's law enforcement ranks, pushing forward the narrative of accountability and integrity within the sector.

I’m sure he sent his money out long ago and now he just needs to accept defeat and get out of here and collect his hard earned money 😜
