webfact Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Dhammachayo summoned to testifyBANGKOK: -- The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) today issued a summons for Phra Dhammachayo, abbot of Dhammakaya temple for acknowledgement of criminal charges that include money laundering. Commissioner of DSI’s monetary and banking affairs office Pol Lt Col Pakorn Suchivakul revealed that he has signed off the summons for Phra Dhammachayo as a suspect today to testify in criminal case that he was alleged to have been found guilty of conspiracy in money laundering, money laundering and receiving stolen property.He said the abbot used to designate a representative to testify in the case.However in the new development of the case, a complaint has been lodged with the DSI to take legal action against the abbot, prompting the need of the DSI to issue summons for him as a suspect, the commissioner said.He said the abbot must appear at the DSI to testify on April 8.But he maintained that the DSI investigators have yet to await until that time if he will appear to testify or not.He said he has already reported the issuance of the summons to the DSI chief today.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/content/157497 -- Thai PBS 2016-03-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesetat2013 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Given the examples in the past. It's doubtful this guy will show when he is supposed to. Most likely he will send his lawyer in place claiming some BS excuse why he can't make it at the last minute. Pathetic these monks who have forgotten the most common practice of their own religion.

Only a court can find someone guilty by law -- NOBODY/NOTHING else can. He has yet to appear in court on any charge. Comprende, you Thaivisa news people? And not even the use of the word "alleged" will get you off a liable charge in this particular instance, because there are no grounds for this comment, which is essentially an opinion expressed by you people.

Misplaced wording, should be "alleged to be guilty of..." but not having said "found guilty in court".... I think we all know what was meant. no big deal.

Look at the source of the article. It wasn't written by "you Thaivisa news people". The original article was written by Thai PBS whom have no affiliation with Thaivisa. Learn to read.

colinneil Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Sorry got the flu. Waiting for my friend to send his private helicopter to fly me away. Why on earth do police notify someone days in advance? Why not just show up arrest and be done with it? Maybe to give him time to flea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomross46 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 That area is very nice and unspoiled. Development has its price. Glad I've known it since late 90's when it was still a very remote area in the world... It was very nice until the politicians got involved.

What's your problem? Suspect...testify...alleged..., nothing about 'guilty': so what are you rambling about? Or would your opinion be that this 'monk' could not possibly(!) be trialed, and, eventually(!), be found guilty by some court of Law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
