DSI asked to speed up actions against alleged embezzlers in Klong Chan Credit Union Cooperative

BANGKOK: -- The Department of Special Investigation was asked today (Wednesday) by a group of members of Klong Chan Credit Union Cooperative to speed up legal proceedings against the former chairman of the cooperative and his associates for having cheated the cooperative of over 1.6 billion baht.

Mr Atchariya Ruangrattanapan who represents the group who were cheated of their life savings invested in the cooperative handed a letter of complaint addressed to DSI chief Mrs Suwana Suwanchutha.

In the letter, the group made four demands to the DSI. The demands include to speed up legal proceedings against the former chairman of the cooperative Mr Supachai Srisupa-aksorn, Mr Watchanont Navaisararak, Mr Chiradet Wongpienkoontharn; to investigate the Cooperatives Promotion Department and Cooperatives Auditing Department for suspected collusion with Mr Supachai in the embezzlement; and to declare the testimonies given by 25 cooperative members to the DSI on February 20 null and void.

Mr Atchariya said that the group would rally in front of the Criminal Court on March 12 to protest against any bail attempt for the suspects who are due to appear before the court.

It's 16 billion, not 1.6. That number belongs to the KMITL scam.

Which interestingly has seen people arrested and charged, while the Klong Chan case has seen zero arrests, is enmeshed with an allegedly dodgy temple and its abbot, other influential figures and general all round incompetence and corruption.

Strange, eh?

Smoke and mirrors. The usual. T.I.T.

they already had enough time to hide assets , destroy/ fabricate evidence.

Are credit unions under central bank control. Love how they can't chase the temple for the money.

Legal money laundering if ever there was.

There is no control under the BoT as far as I know. There is a government office supposedly overseeing credit unions and is housed in the same place as the DSI at Chang Wattana.

The same DSI that sat on this case for nearly 2 years and did nothing until last month.

I really don't care anymore which side does it. All sides are bare faced thieves.

Group rally to protest any release on bail -

Will this be another excused public gathering under martial law because of NCPO conflict of interest? Or will they be told by the PM to submit a letter of protest to the court. But protesting in public, "Do not do that!"
