Lite Beer Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 NACC seizes assets of ex-DSI chiefBANGKOK, 19 April 2015 (NNT) – The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) seizes assets worth 40 million baht of former director-general of the Department of Special Investigation Tharit Phengdit on grounds of unusual wealth.NACC Secretary-General Sansern Phonchiak said a NACC committee probing the case of former chief of the DSI found there was evidence suggesting that Mr. Tharit’s assets relating to his unusual wealth had been transferred, transformed or hidden. The NACC therefore decided to temporarily seize the assets, including bank deposits, land, buildings and vehicles worth 40 million baht, according to Section 78 of the NACC Act.The NACC also ordered Mr. Tharit to submit a list of assets and liabilities of himself, spouse and minor children within 30 days. -- NNT 2015-04-19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The happiest day of my life will be when it is Chalerm's turn for the knife . He is a symbol of all that is wrong with the Thai political system, and deserves jail time. But I suppose he will just do a runner like he did the last time to Denmark when things start to look bad for him. The junta should freeze his bank accounts right now as a preemptive move.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWideOpen Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 So..... Head of CIB, Pongpat, caught for corruption. Check !! Head of DSI , Tharit , caught for corruption. Check !! It seems at this point that corruption goes from the local policeman shaking down little businesses, to the guys at the very top. ButI already knew that. So who is next now ? Must be a lot of people in Bangkok sleeping poorly now, or are busy transferring their money out of Thailand and booking a flight to America.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Prbkk Posted April 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2015 In the normal course of events, the pursuit of those who have accumulated 'unusual wealth' ( some kind of euphemism for corruption) would be a good thing. However when it is one side pursuing the other and ignoring their own who have accumulated wealth through similar means, it is very dangerous indeed. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are posting with your heart, not your head. Two wrongs don't make a right, does not matter what happened many years ago, this is now. If the Shins were in power we would not be reading stories like these, for obvious reasons. The only people Thaksin hunted down were so-called drug related criminals, because he thought it would be a cheap way to buy popularity, and the only ones he attacked were the media, for printing stuff he did not want to hear. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
