In Thailand, the truth is like the wind, Lese mejeste had to be cited in the majority of the charges which diminishes their credibility.

Another squeaky-clean Thaksin crony!!!

Som nam naa!!!

Well, his case was quickly rushed to the OAG - what's happened to the stalemated case of a certain former female Prime Minister ...?

In Thailand, the truth is like the wind, Lese mejeste had to be cited in the majority of the charges which diminishes their credibility.

may just be a case of using a avenue requireing the least amount of effort by investigative crew. The bib as well as most public servents seem somewhat work brittle

on most endivors they undertake, unless self intrest is a factor, of course. i would not agree that other charges lose credibility due to lese mejeste charges, the good ex cib chief is a perfect example of what is so sinister (polite term) about the entire rtp organization. lets just hope this swing of the bat is just the first of many and that each hit is just as solidly adminstered.

these type only understand pain and the sooner and the more applied the faster to clean up a festering cesspool which has surviveed way too long.

IMHO this was rushed through with unusual haste because certain arrangements have been made behind the scenes.

As always, this is a case of opportunity. Many others are guilty,,,why this one?

See post #3.

As usual we outside Thailand realise there is much more to this than can be reported.

Since the dawn of the ages, it has been known that people who made tones on money,

be it legally or not, also made tones of enemies, some more powerful, greedier and smarter

than them,

It's a fallacy to think that in this country, you can get billions of baht illegally with impunity,

someone, someday, will get you...

According to the BKK Post this morning it will start off on the 8th or9th of this month when the NLA hears the first case.

Hiding behind fabric illusions of Legality to hide criminality sanctioned previously where no action was taken really makes one wonder if anything will ever change.

the thing I know is uncorrupted is my hard drive. Everything else I just plod along. Wherever there are people there are bad things happening. What a disgraceful race we are. Epitomized by the ruling people in this forsaken land

Let's try this reply post again

If you did a little research you will find that all the facts regarding this fiasco are out on the internet and why and where enormous funds went and to whom!!

IMHO - since they had to resort to "lese majeste", they probably do not have evidence that could withstand the scrutiny of the courts (guilty or not). Les Majeste is a trump card one plays when all else has failed.

Sorry to disappoint you and your observation but again if you do some research in the international media you find that the "WHY" and "WHO" is not discussed within the borders of Thailand.

​Again, if you did some research in the international media you will find "WHY" LM is being used within the borders of Thailand with regard to this fiasco.

Sorry for the double post but am a newbie and still learning my way around the posting exercise.

I had thought that the moderators had disapproved my initial posting and I did not see it made it through!

With millions and millions of cash found and so much assets recovered still charge only with these sort of seven charges??? And I bet do on all will be forgotten and he will be free again. Amazing thailand

In Thailand, the truth is like the wind, Lese mejeste had to be cited in the majority of the charges which diminishes their credibility.

In the charges mentioned here today LM was referenced in the minority of those cases.

IMHO this was rushed through with unusual haste because certain arrangements have been made behind the scenes.

Well that's bound to have been what happened then.

The LM charge means they can try him behind closed doors in a military trial where all the public will ever here is that he was found guilty and the sentence is X years, or hanging or whatever.

They will not let this guy have any chance to speak openly....

As always, this is a case of opportunity. Many others are guilty,,,why this one?

None of them has been to court yet so no-one is guilty yet. This is just the first, possibly because he was the admitted leader and considered to be the most important case?

Any charges against policeboss nr. 1?
