BANGKOK: -- Prosecutors yesterday indicted Thawil Puengma, former rector of King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Latkrabang (KMITL), and others for forging documents and stealing Bt510 million from the institute's bank accounts. Bangkok's Min Buri Court has set the first hearing on March 23.

This move is part of the ongoing action related to the embezzlement and theft of Bt1.5 billion from KMITL.

Apart from the 61-year-old Thawil, the others indicted were: former bank manager Songklod Sriprasong, 40; former KMITL finance division head Ampon Noisamrit, 56; Poonsak Boonsawat, 26; Janjira Sopradit, 27; Sombat Sopradit, 44; Radom Mattujad, 55; Jariwat Sahaporn-udomkan, 32; Pada Buakhao, 28; former KMITL executive Sappasit Limnorarat, 51; and KMITL lecterer Sarut Ratchaburi, 54.

They are facing charges of conspiring to steal, conspiring to forge and use fake documents, conspiring to forge and use fake bills of exchange, aiding or conducting embezzlement, aiding or neglecting duty as state officials, and money laundering.

Words fail me........

Why the hell is he not behind bars??

Free to leave the court hearing in his chauffeur drove limousine !!

One justice for the rich and well connected and another (no) justice for the poor!!

[trogers]

He is educated?

[ChrisY1]

The smirk on his face says it all..............most likely knows that nothing will eventuate........

And as a previous poster mentioned.......getting into his chauffeur driven Benz bought most probably, with stolen money!

Maybe that photo was not taken yesterday? Maybe they were given bail? What's the significance of his mode of transport?

Given the actions of the accused one would expect a small look of guilt but no.it''s a cheery smile and ''I'm alright Jack.''

The car and a chauffeur?

Others had their car confiscated, no doubt this car is owned by a ''friend'' you know, a gardener or a housemaid who no doubt drove the accused to court out of the goodness of their heart and undying loyalty to their friend/employer.

I fail to see any merit in supporting the kind of low life person that the former rector is.

Still I suppose tacit support for that sort of person must comes from those with like minds.

One could hardly classify the ex rector nor his ' academic or business ''friends'' as fine upstanding members of the community could you?

Industrious? Yes.

Principled?

Somehow I find that a difficult concept to accept.

They are facing charges of conspiring to steal, conspiring to forge and use fake documents, conspiring to forge and use fake bills of exchange, aiding or conducting embezzlement, aiding or neglecting duty as state officials, and money laundering.

Such a sad situation, yet only a high profile case of what ADM folks can and do pull at their universities..right now..

There can be big money in religion, but there again it is Gods will.

What's with these people? It's obvious that sooner or later their deeds will be discovered, how do they think they'll get away with it? They, just as obviously have IQ's lower than their shoe size!
