MrJohnson Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Not a chance, but no doubt plenty here will believe its all about cleaning up corruption. Its cleaning up corruption and neutering the Shins 2 noble causes. Now if the Shins were to release what they know about corruption of the army we might be getting somewhere. I hate corruption so its good he goes down and would applaud corrupt guys being taken down on the side that i support too.Too bad this will probably not happen. The side that is in power usually goes after those that are corrupt on the other side. But at least some get caught. Sorry rob. I think you are barking up the wrong tree. Cant be long before this thread gets closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There is none so blind as those who will not see" Agree with your sentiment on corruption, but the real story is written between the lines!! I have read the story as well, that is if you are talking about the BP story, and in fact that is just a result of the events, not the other way around. Feel free to PM me if I'm referring to the wrong story, or if you want to explain something I don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Meanwhile, police said yesterday three of the safes confiscated from the houses of Pongpat's family members contained no valuable items, Royal Thai Police spokesman Pol Lt-General Prawut Thawornsiri said yesterday. He said it was possible that any valuables in the safes might have been removed before they were confiscated by police. Before or after?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesWideOpen Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The picture in the OP made my day!! Nice to see this piece of human garbage go down!! Karma is a bitch!! Haha, brought a smile to my face as well to see him doing the perp walk. Normally the rich and powerful in these situations never look very worried as they know nothing will really happen to them . However..... in this case he is going down in flames and fully realizes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkerry Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Anyone trying to get a better understanding of what is going on needs to go to the website of the other paper and read their coverage from the past few days, including today's lead story. It goes in to more detail, with more information why certain charges were laid. It's will enable many people to fill in the gaps for themselves seeing how it cannot be discussed here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It indeed explains why certain charges are laid, but it doesn't say that this was the particular reason for the bust, as many people try to insinuate. In fact I think that particular fact has saved them from getting busted for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Lawrence Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Why is it only the police are being caught? The tentacles of this corruption must go very far? With so much money the accumulation must have included decisions of fair justice? Again the tentacles would go very far? Every country has its bad washing. It’s just Thailand’s turn to remove some of it. Where can one see the list of what was recovered? What a bummer; a month ago this man would have been having better dreams, now he should be living a nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Wonderful how the gullible are lapping up every rumor on this and turning it into reality in their own minds to the stage of calling others who prefer to believe fact rather than rumor naïve. Read reports in other publications and see if you can twist what they say into something that cant be mentioned, cant be talked about, to sensitive. Great excuses for carrying on rumor without actually saying it. But its on facebook or some other social media and they are always accurate even though anyone can put anything they like on there. And some overseas publications have got hold of the rumors as well, yep, sensationalism sells, particularly when theres no accountability to go with it. Wonder whose PR dept sends them their stories ? Never mind, the know it alls are having a great time being superior when nobody can prove anything one way or the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chob’s brother Sayant, caretaker of the compound, told the police all the wood planks were taken into his compound four years ago to take care of. He said what he was told by his brother was that all the wood planks belong to Pol Lt Gen Pongpat. A police officer in the search team said initial examination showed all the wood planks were sawn from a sawmill and some were stamped with official emblems. He said the police would impound am the planks until owner could produce documents all the wood planks are legally acquired, Earlier yesterday another police team searched a furniture factory at Muang Thong Thani and discovered moire than 2,800 planks of teak, maka mong, and pradoo lai woods.

arrowsdawdle Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Prawut said that police had received a letter from HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn's secretary informing them about the cancellation of the surname. I wonder if the full background to this will be published inside Thailand. Looks like the foreground is murky enough. Fat chance of the background becoming clear. Perhaps, it is all relative.

Queenslander Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 It doesn't matter who is in power, red, blue, yellow, camouflage - it is what it has always been in Thailand - "Just Smoke & Mirrors". If we arrested everyone working for a Thai government department that was or is corrupt there would be no working government… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the full background to this will be published inside Thailand. One of the english papers in Thailand, has the story - the Thai script media, is a bit slower, it's not there yet - if it will be, i'm pretty sure most publishers will be very carefull, with this topic. But i guess we found out, what the arrest of the CIB fat cat, and the others was about - we won't see any major cleanup. This was a isolated case. This is not an isolated case. The empty safes they found should be pursued. An operation of this size must have a far reaching scope or justice is not done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razer Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Gosh ... look at this guy. Think of it. Just a few months ago he was taking for granted his many properties, pondering what to do with his stash cash and scooting about in his Bentley or Benz probably chauffer driven.

I came across this article/blog on the internet by someone who actually knew Pongpat before all this blew up which gives an interesting view of him as a person - certainly doesn't paint him as the archetypal bent copper he appears to be now. Of course it doesn't mean he is not guilty of what is alleged but does give some background. http://www.jimalgie.com/thai-police-scandal-top-cops-go-down-in-blaze-of-allegations/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
