Fugitive Ex-Monk Reappears In Laos, Report Says

13774203361377420350l.jpg

BANGKOK: -- The wealthy former monk hunted by the Thai police is reported to come out of hiding in Laos.

Mr. Wirapol Sukpol, formerly known prior to his banishment from monkhood as Luang Pu Nen Kham, has been eluding the arrest warrant served by the Division of Special Investigation (DSI) by staying abroad since the scandal erupted.

The DSI wants him to stand trial for frauds, money laundering, and sexual assault of an underage girl.

The latest reports appear to indicate that the ex-monk is residing "on a mountain in Laos", where he reportedly meets with many of his disciples regularly.

According to a source, Mr. Wirapol, still dresses himself fully as a monk, and comes to receive food offered to him by villagers every morning, even on the rainy days.

The source also claims that his disciples travel to meet him on rented mini-van on weekends from Thailand. During his monkhood, Mr. Wirapol commands a considerable influence, boasting police officers and businessmen as his spiritual supporters.

Meanwhile, Mr. Sukij Poonsrikasem, the lawyer of Mr. Wirapol, disputed the DSI′s claim that his client′s DNA test result matches with that of a child he allegedly fathered with a woman who was a minor at the time.

Mr. Wirapol’s lawyer said that the DNA test was conducted on what believed to be the trace of Mr. Wirapol’s saliva, which might be falsely created. The DSI said it found traces of the DNA from a cigar butt.

“it is not fair for Mr. Wirapol since the sample was not taken from him” Mr. Sukij complained “Not he had been judged by the society from the evidence, which might have been a fake”.

Mr. Sukij also discussed legal terms of ‘rape’, once he heard that the Division of Special Investigation (DSI) is pursuing legal action against his client.

“In order to prosecute someone for rape, you need medical confirmation that the incident actually occurred” said Mr. Sukit, who firmly believed that the prosecutors will never take up the case due to the weak evidence.

Handy being just over the border as he can continue to communicate with his co-conspirators and the business continues as before. Just needs to open some new accounts in Lao and the money can be laundered out of Thailand. I'm sure his old customers will be queuing up with bundles of dirty cash to be processed.

His spiritual supporters "included police officers and businessmen". And, of course, politicians. Not much of a surprise there, except they forgot to mention they are also financial supporters.

I'm sure that on rainy days, he just drives one of his Benzes down the mountain to accept the food offerings.

Because Laos is a separate sovereign country and the DSI cannot just go there and fetch him like Uncle Sam got Osama from Pakistan.

I imagine he's busy reacquainting himself with Buddhism just now.... and avoiding the like button on Facebook. smile.png

Wonder how much of his money he's reacquainting himself with? Those ardent followers may be packing unusually large bags for their daytrip in the minivan.

'Did you bring the alms? .... Bless you'

I think he will come back.............

Just taking time to bring his books up-to-date, get his journals ready to name names, contacts & sources.

There should be a lot of worried concerns this side of the border if that ever happens if he has been involved in heavy money laundering.

If he ever makes it..................

That's the address he has to report every 90 days to Laos immigration police, hah!

Probably a stall tactic that allowed something different to take place - just like the world wide sport of negotiations......

This shister will not return as there would be far too many self aggrandizing important people at risk from his revelations of where this mountain of money originated from. He is most probably being paid to stay away and the same goes with regard to te DSI'S efforts to apprehend him. As to his followers making weekly pilgrimages to sit as his feet. What kind of devoted Budhist are these.
