Suthep Accused Of Buying Land With Donation Money
By Khaosod English


Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban



BANGKOK: -- Pheu Thai spokesman has accused anti-government protest leader of buying lands in a southern province with donation money.

According to Mr. Prompong Nopparit, his party has received information that 52 rai of land in Nakhon Si Thammarat province was purchased on 29 January with the price of 280 million baht.

The purchase was highly suspicious, Mr. Prompong said, as the provincial Department of Landm, which wields the sole authority in approving all land sales in the area, was closed down at the time due to "shutdown" protests organised by the People′s Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD).

In the land purchase document allegedly obtained by Pheu Thai Party, the name of the son of PCAD leader Suthep Thaugsuban was also listed as a co-buyer.

Furthermore, the land borders with another piece of land owned by a "prominent Democrat politician", Mr. Prompong added, without naming the person.

Mr. Prompong said he would like to ask Mr. Suthep and his son managed to purchase the land, since their bank accounts are currently frozen by the authorities.

"I want to ask Mr. Suthep and his son whether this is true," Mr. Prompong said, "Mr. Suthep has to clarify this matter. If he doesn′t, I′ll take it that he accepts the allegation".

The spokesman of Pheu Thai Party also voiced his suspicion that Mr. Suthep′s family has spent a part of donation money received from PCAD supporters on the land purchase.

"There has already been rumour about whatever happened to 2 billion baht of donation Mr. Suthep has received," Mr. Prompong said in the press conference.

He added that the ruling party will request the Division of Special Investigatino (DSI) and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to investigate the land purchase in Nakhon Si Thammarat for the sake of "fairness".

They're desperate to divert our attention from all their own graft, loss of face and ineptitude. Pathetic PTP.

[bkkjames]

Maybe he is just going to start rice farming and donate the proceeds to those who haven't been paid?

Suthep makes a great job of looking corrupt and inept all on his own. No need for PTP to highlight it.

[kotsak]

Not bad for someone who has declared himself to be in debt

[jackrich]

Busted. Fingers in the honey pot and stuck.

The anti corruption movement leader - corrupt himself? Oh no...

[Nickymaster]

Buying land with donation money?? I thought the donations were only a fraction of the total cost of keeping these rallies going.

Doesn't make sense imo.

[Thai at Heart]

Oooooops

[Nickymaster]

Oooooops

Ooooooops?

[cornishcarlos]

That is pretty expensive land... !!

Exactly, I am sure he must have thought he could have sneaked such an insignificant transaction right past those guys in charge of seizing his assets.

Next time, only make it 1.9 Billion as to not arise any suspicion. lol

[3NUMBAS]

he's rotten to the core like the rest of the hypocrites who want to hijack the system for their own ends ,god forbid his elected council idea .

[Red Snake]

I just want to know if he has to report these donations on his tax return or are they a tax exempt organization?

Busted by PT and their convicted spokesperson?? Jacky you are sooo funny.

Desperation has well and truly set in. The ship is sinking, the distress flares all gone and the sharks are circling. Let's set fire to the mast!

Exactly. Why not concentrate on selling rotten rice to pay the poor farmers before more have to commit suicide out of desperation one would think.

[bigbamboo]

Someone has been incredibly stupid here.... either Suthep for buying it or Prompong for accusing him of buying it.

It will be the end for one of them.

Hahahaha.... excellent!

[Just1Voice]

Don't know if this is true or not, but if so, leaflets should be handed out to every protester showing the facts, and his loud speak system overridden and a voice giving the details blasted from all the speakers. Ouch! Major embarrassment. If NOT true, those who perpetrated this lie should be grilled like a steak on a bar-b-que.

1. read articles before trolling.

2. Do research before posting nonsense.

its the spin game for the hearts and minds. unfortunately, this ahem "news" being conveniently released this late in the game smacks of desperation.

If nothing else, it will get many many many more people interested in hearing what MR. Suthep has to say on the matter - which is ideal for him I would imagine.

Basically, mission accomplished. Well done.

[Why ask]

This is all so wrong it stinks of PTP desperation at the lowest level.

2 Billion baht in donations....... .... you have got to be kidding.

Photoshop is a very clever tool nowadays, and if that is a land deal, on that piece of paper... then my mum is Ghandi.

I wonder what's next? Suthep is Spanish??

I'd rather be convicted of libel than on trial for murdering over 80 Thais.

Enough said, no?

You must be a Red! Do you believe everything the PTP says? This seems more like a setup or simple propaganda to make people stop looking at the PTP and cultivate more dissention.

It could be possible though since Suthep has said plain and clear he is facing life in prison or worse and is talking about stealing the rice to give back to farmers.

But i have no faith in anything the PTP says. They have done nothing but post lies to cover their arsssses.

Time will tell!

Exactly what you would expect a PTP spokesman to be guilty/convicted of.
