rooster59 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Border checkpoints tightened up to prevent Dhammachayo from escaping BANGKOK: The Department of Special Investigation has sought cooperation from the Immigration Bureau to tighten up monitoring of people leaving the country through all 118 immigration checkpoints as a precaution against possible escaping by Phra Dhammachayo. Pol Lt-Gen Natthathorn Prohsunthorn, the Immigration Bureau commissioner, said Friday that the embattled abbot’s criminal record and details of his arrest warrant had been computed into the bureau’s computer system and the system would give an alert the monk leaves the country through all the immigration checkpoints.An informed DSI source disclosed that the director of Panurangsee army hospital in Ratchaburi had informed the enquiry officers of the DSI that the letter purported issued by the hospital’s deputy director certifying that Phra Dhammachayo was sick was illegal because the embattled abbot had never been treated at the hospital.

NongKhaiKid Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Sure;y such an important and revered figure who is totally innocent would have no need to leg it, would he ? It's also unlikely that such a well connected person would have any assistance from ' unexpected, especially official ' sources. That sort of thing just wouldn't happen here.

MaiChai Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Arrest him. If he is sick, stick him in the police hospital with a 24 hour police guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Border checkpoints tightened what for? If and when he decides to do a runner he will not just cross the border legally. He will quietly disappear with the aid of his many HI-SO friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's not sick then? More potential charges, more people involved which will do nothing to ensure this gets handled properly, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilsonandson Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Good, just the vintage car monk nominated for Supreme Patriarch left. A bit more dirt dug up on him and the Sangha Council is in full control of the junta. Religion, check, government (senate), check. Unmentionable topic, check. Absolute power. Hooray! 20 more years!

LannaGuy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Senior Police Officer : "Now chaps we want to set up some secret checkpoints to prevent that suspect chappie from escaping you may be aware that he might try and escape wearing orange - be alert!" Police Recruit: "But Sir why don't we arrest him"? Senior Police Officer: "you're new here aren't you? we can't go around arresting people what sort of message would that send? no,no secret checkpoints are our cunning device" Edited May 21, 2016 by LannaGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapout Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The Lt General's alert will be worth squat if its set up " to alert those leaving the country" I would think you would want to take muppet into custody prior to him crossing the border. What have the enforcement personel been doing, haveing meeting in a 5 star hotel in Singapore? They act like trail hounds following the trail of a escaped convict. The mans where abouts, have been and should be known by the authorties down to gps location If this one escapes capture/ justice as did the last one the men in charge who are responsible for enforcement should be jailed for the same amount of time this joker is looking at and not released until the monk??? is put in the same place they are residing. Its not like there is a wall keeping in nor out of Thailand. Everyday there are hundreds walking back and forth through the boundries with 3 other countries plus those who jump on a ship, private aircraft, etc to leave Thailand. Does Thailand have any trained,experienced crime busters in positions to go out and make a arrest and physically detain a suspected big time criminal?It would be laughable if there was not so much to be lost to individuals it was not meant for.
