Justice Minister Pracha Denies Bt16 Billion Was Transferred To Hong Kong

[Fozfromoz]

Yesterday

"Justice Minister Pracha Promnok yesterday dismissed reports that Thai politicians had sent Bt16 billion to Hong Kong, saying anti-money laundering agencies from other countries, including Hong Kong, had denied the report."

Today

"Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) detected an illegal money transfer from Thailand but decided to drop the case because Thai authorities had failed to file a complaint, a graft buster said yesterday."

Tomorrow

???

Envelope passed........"Hong Kongs ICAC made a mistake" The money detected was from Tanzania, not Thailand. Very sorry, English not so good.

So let me get this right. Money pitches up illegally/undocumented and someone calls Thailand, and those in Hong Kong just let it through because no one can raise an official complaint.

I somehow think that Hong Kong's anti-money laundering system is a little tighter than that.

Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) detected an illegal money transfer...

"illegal money transfers" do not exist even if the money was stolen, robbed or embezzled.

where's the Hong Kong source which confirms the claim of nationmultimedia.com?

...

He also challenged the key opposition Democrat Party to censure the government, saying he would then have the opportunity to expose how five Democrats allegedly moved their ill-gotten riches out of the country.

So he knows of acts of corruption but won't act on them unless it can be used for political gain.

This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the PTP Justice Minister.

the last time money went out like this,they devalued and the rich doubled their money.

[animatic]

Why would the syndicate file a complaint to the Hing Kong Government about their own shape-shifting money situation?

Correct. And can you guess who the deputy prime minister was back in '97 when the baht was devalued?

To save you googling it, it was Thaksin Shinawatra. I wonder what a man like that did with such lucrative knowledge, purely coincidental that he became one of the worlds richest men at the same time.

Why would any official from Thailand make such a claim unless there was substance behind it and risk his career? Then a huge overwritten denial in The Nation? Well let's see where this one goes. Thai politicians just can't help themselves can they. Interesting the payment and Thaksin both were in HK...

From the head lines I thought that Thaksin was getting back some of his money.

looks like he get some fresh money...

I remember that there were reports that the money was taken out of the country in wooden crates.

another news source is reporting a follow-up to this.

[siampolee]

Yes, and that report has some interesting initials in it too.

[Buchholz]

Dussadee Arayawuth, Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Justice Ministry, said yesterday that he had confidential information about some money being illegally transferred from Thailand to Hong Kong

Dusadee has refused to share what he knows.

As a result of that, the Department of Special Investigations (DSI) is today contemplating bringing charges against Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Justice Ministry Dussadee for failing to cooperate with their investigation of the 16 Billion Baht transfer.

Next Wednesday, the DSI will attempt once again try and get Police Colonel Dusadee to share his information with investigators.
