webfact Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Police will seek to extradite key KMITL suspect from the UKThe NationBANGKOK: -- Police are working on extraditing Kittisak Muttujad - a key suspect wanted for the embezzlement and theft of Bt1.5 billion at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Lat Krabang (KMITL) - from the United Kingdom, where he was believed to be hiding, spokesman Pol Maj Gen Prawut Thavornsiri revealed yesterday.Police had identified "Boss", a person for whom Kittisak allegedly worked, but evidence in the case has yet to "reach" that person, so they cannot summon him yet, the spokesman said.So, police want to try to first get hold of Kittisak, who entered the UK on Christmas Day and has reportedly remained there. They plan to submit an extradition request to the Office of the Attorney General today, he said, adding that Thai police also sent information about Kittisak to Interpol to help issue a warrant for his arrest.In related news, TV actor Pakorn "Boy" Chatborirak, who had bought a Lamborghini from Kittisak via suspect Pada Buakhao, is due to return the car and testify to the Anti-Money Laundering Office tomorrow morning. Police suspect that the car was bought with stolen money, then resold at a cheaper price to the actor.

NongKhaiKid Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If this article is in any way accurate it's complete rubbish. If the BIB have contacted Interpol for the issuance of a Red Notice it means they are saying any member country who locates the suspect can arrest and LoS will immediately start extradition but the article reads as if extradition has yet to be approved so if Interpol has been contacted it's all a..e for elbow.

Queenslander Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 This is purely Police propaganda - look at us, see how clever we are - then nothing happens, ever. What is so Thai, is the ability of (alleged) Thai criminals to move so easily to, and stay, in another country ($$$?), without any visa issues. Obviously this ease of travel is assisted by the fact the BIB fail/forget ($$$) to issue travel stop notices to Immigration, or maybe they do and Immigration ignore them ($$$) and people just walk through and away. Luckily this has only been happening during the last 40 years, from my knowledge! Look for change…ha,ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BiB will take a look at the extradition form requirements: 2 pictures 2x4cm, certified true copy of translation of extradition form not older than a week from application filing, hand drawn map of suspects address in UK, 3000 baht cash processing fee, sworn statement of character of applicant by poo yai baan translated and certified ...and say mai bpen rai... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camelot Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 At least it's reciprocal. British crooks come here, so major Thai crooks go to the UK. Isn't globalisation a wonderful thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extradition only happens when one country requests it from another. IF Interpol have been involved the issues are linked since a Red Notice ( Arrest ) will not be issued if the requesting country isn't ready to immediately proceed with extradition. The article reads as if Interpol were contacted without the OAG agreement on extradition which isn't how Red Notices work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Not happening. The UK would be unlikely to extradite under normal circumstances but will never happen whilst the current incumbents are in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickirs Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The Police should be sure to also charge him with Lèse majesté, that will help expedite his transfer back to Thailand - because the British understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 As soon as the police here money laundering they must just rub their hand and be thinking how much for me and the criminals can just walk if I get my cut it will be happy days all round none of these big time thieves and criminals ever spend an hour in prison never mind 20 or 30 years far too busy spending their ill-gotten gains in land afar.

BestBitterPhuket Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Why have no extradition proceedings been filed against Thaksin? They know where he is? Waiting for the statutes of limitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z42 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Am I missing something here, Thais can't just walk into the UK last time I checked. My wife of 3 years couldn't even get a visa first time she applied, so how some bent as a dogs hind leg KMITL lackey gets one so easily and conveniently is very interesting.Also shouldn't they focus on extraditing people like Thaksin first, or maybe a few other of the red terrorist mobsters hiding out overseas.

Thai at Heart Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If they have cast iron evidence there is virtually no reason why the UK wot extradite. Its not like the atmosphere towards dodgy foreigners is that good in the uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK would be unlikely to extradite under normal circumstances but will never happen whilst the current incumbents are in power. Why? It will be a pretty open and shut case with pretty clear evidence. Why wouldny they extradite? That assumes that the Thais know how to ask properly.

Robby nz Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Why have no extradition proceedings been filed against Thaksin? They know where he is? Waiting for the statutes of limitation? The answer to that is quite simple if you stop to think. He is less trouble where he is. If he were here in jail awaiting all the other charges against think of the trouble all those silly enough to still be in love with him would cause. There is enough to keep him in line, like the threat of revoking his illegal Thai passport (probably diplomatic) which would cramp his style, sure he has others he has bought, but from countries where he would have to apply for visas wherever he went. The present administration has the threat of seizing all his assets in Thailand which would be easy for them under marshal law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
