Lite Beer Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Six immigration police officers implicated in human trafficking moved out of Sadao district BANGKOK: -- Six immigration police officers who were alleged to be involved in the trafficking of foreign migrants from Malaysia into southern Thailand have been transferred out of Songkhla’s Sadao district. The transfer of the six Sadao immigration police officers who include a police colonel followed Thai PBS’s exposure of their alleged involvement in the human trafficking racket.Video footage shot by Thai PBS news team shows a group of foreign migrants from Myanmar and Cambodia disembarking from a car with Malaysian licence plate and boarding a pick-up truck belonging to the immigration police at the car park of Sadao’s office of the immigration police.Later on, false documents were issued to declare the foreign migrants illegal immigrants before they were deported.However, the Sadao immigration police claimed that the foreign migrants from Myanmar and Cambodia were illegal migrants and they were arrested by immigration police.It was reported that the foreign migrants each paid human trafficking gang 8,000 baht to bring them into Thailand from Malaysia.

NongKhaiKid Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Wasn't the PBS footage claimed to be a misrepresentation of a routine movement of illegals plus a categorical denial any immigration officers in the area were involved in any wrongdoing ? So on reflection to make it look good some personnel are transferred and that's probably all that will happen Job Done ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's highly unlikely that the six immigration police were not acting alone, or not under orders from more senior and influential people. All authorities and military are fully complicit in this horror. The usual self-serving, corrupt food chain guarantees that in Thailand. So, with millions of baht at stake, who is at the top? We will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdenner Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Transfer? How about charging them with a crime and prosecuting them in place. Can't do that. These scum are at the bottom of the food chain and need to be kept quite and happy. Can't have them incriminating the real crooks in a messy court hearing.

fareastguy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I haven't actually been keeping count of "transferred persons" does it now exceed illegal immigrants ?? Must be one-hell-of-a-camp somewhere where they are being transferred to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get it in this country that an official, in this case Immigation Officers, just get moved so that can start a scam somewhere else which they will do. They should as a minimum be suspended while evidence is being collected but really should be sacked, charged and sent to prison if found guilty. This is why they do what they do because they know that little or nothing will happen to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullstop Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The Thais are lying the rest of the world full, as they are masters in. There is a popular phrase going around neighbouring ASEAN countries, especially in Malaysia and Singapore ... "Don't Thai me" .. i.e "Don't lie to me, don't con me etc etc" How embarrassing Thailand.

LivinLOS Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Despite many many great things living here.. You really do need to be blind to not see that this society and social patronage system is rotten to the core. Honesty, integrity, morals, facing a problem, etc etc.. Not only does it not exist, there seems no expectation it should exist. The baseline belief is the powerful are expected to trample on the weak, those with connections should of course use them to flout the weak laws... Karma.. Good deeds in a previous life put them there.. They need automatic respect for that.. Pii Khaap.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razer Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Think for just 60 seconds ...... If they move police and/or immigration officers out of the district these bad guys won't be able to cover their tracks, intimidate or even murder witnesses and hopefully a proper investigation can be made.

Do you really think moving someone away can stop them having some influence, reduced maybe but not completely if at all. In the conspiracies we are talking about there are a lot of people involved each covering for each other and modern communications make the passing of information and instructions so easy.
