Lite Beer Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Seven more people linked to catering dealThe NationBANGKOK: -- Seven more people have been found linked to a catering deal, which involves a woman who was also part of the alleged debt-collecting and intimidation racket run by former crime-buster Lt-General Pongpat Chayaphan, a senior police commander said yesterday.Police are looking to see what roles these people played in the catering deals, led by Sudathip Muangnual, who is now in custody, and will take action if their acts are deemed to be criminal, Pol Maj-General Phakkharaphong Phongphetra said.The catering deals involved the delivery of food to several restaurants. Sudathip is accused of unlawfully winning deals to run the catering scheme by citing royal backing and not offering the lowest price, which has led to her facing lese majeste charges. The catering deals included eateries at two palaces and at Suvaranabhumi Airport.Separately, the Bangkok military court yesterday issued new arrest warrants for two suspects involved in Pongpat's racket. They now face lese majeste charges for allegedly falsely telling their lecturers at the National Institution of Development Administration (Nida) that they could not attend lectures because they were busy with errands assigned to them by the palace.Police spokesman Lt-General Prawut Thawornsiri identified the two men as Nuttpon Suwadi and Chakant Phakphoom, who are already in detention for allegations in relation to Pongpat's racket.Prawut said another suspect, Pol Colonel Songsak Khunsri, is on the run and has only a few days left before he is discharged from the police force for being absent without permission.Songsak is a deputy division commander under the Crime Suppression Division, which comes under the Central Investigation Bureau, which Pongpat led before he was arrested last month.

aussieinthailand Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Ahhh, those hi-so good people of the south, keep looking people and you'll find more dirt than you have rugs to sweep it under or gaols to put them in, these are the token few high profiles so that the powers that be can justify themselves. But i'm happy they getting what they deserve, and far better time and resources spent rather than having a go at a strawberry jam producer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post timewilltell Posted December 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2014 Doesn't this whole case expose the sham of Thailand. There are so many people involved with this so called gang, that it must have been quite obvious to many many others that the scams and corruption have been going on for years. Such is the depth of lawlessness genre that no one does or says anything about it until there is a reason for exposure. How can a country like this hope to move forward when the corruption is so entrenched and ignored? Shameful really 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapout Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) And here we were led to believe that the Shin family and their coharts had exclusive rights to the scams at the airports of Bangkok. Its getting hard to believe/trust anyone, especially those who say they have privalige info/track to all the inside scoop anymore. On second thought? Guess its time to publish another story about the honest taxie driver/citizen who returned someones left/forgotten valuables. I will admit to wondering how many times a day someone picks up left/forgotten items, money, phone, etc and its considered a personal windfall.finders fee?

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Curious that The Nation report makes no mention of the fact that the woman in the OP is the wife of the former Samut Sakhon immigration police chief. That's the lead element of the BKK Post's story on the same arrest. The BKK Post article includes a long list of the various others who have been jailed over the CIB scandal. Though equally oddly, the husband's (former Immigration chief's) name doesn't seem to be listed anywhere in the group of those currently in jail, as recounted by the Post.

Lite Beer Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Investigation ongoing into 'lese majeste'The Sunday Nation BANGKOK: -- Police will summon the business partner of a police officer's wife who has been accused of committing lese majeste for allegedly winning a contract to supply food to an establishment by claiming she had links with the monarchy.The summons would be issued tomorrow so Palita Lakchalermporn could be interviewed on Thursday, a police source said.Her business partner is Sudatip Muangnual, 45.The source also gave a progress report on Lat Phrao police's investigation into Chakarn Parkpoom and Natthapol Suwadee for allegedly committing lese majeste by citing the monarchy so Chakarn could continue his master's degree study at the National Institute of Development Administration.The source said police were checking to see if the letter Natthapol allegedly wrote to ask NIDA not to punish Chakarn for failing to meet the minimum class attendance was Natthapol’s writing.That process should conclude this week.
