BANGKOK, Nov 29 -- Thai police investigators early Saturday interrogated former Central Investigation Bureau chief Pol Lt Gen Pongpat Chayaphan accused of several charges including lese majeste before sending him to detention at Bangkok Remand Prison.

Looking visibly pale and weak, Gen Pongpat has been denied bail for temporary release as police fear that he might use his influence as a senior police officer to interfere with evidence and witnesses.

Police said they would ask the Criminal court to permit holding him for a second 12-day detention after the first detention expires on Thursday.

According to Thai law, police can detain a suspect for a maximum of seven rounds with each round comprising 12 days.

Police said that Gen Pongpat and his deputy Pol Maj Gen Kowit Wongrungroj admitted guilt during the investigation.

To date, police have arrested 17 out of 22 suspects. Two of them have been released on bail.

Police said they are seeking five others who are still at large.

Police have collected large amounts of cash, rare artifacts, antique Buddha images and amulets, and gold in the possession of Gen Pongpat and other suspects as evidence. (MCOT online news)
