webfact Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 OAG now begins to prosecute Phra Dhammachayo BANGKOK: -- The Office of the Attorney-General has agreed to prosecute Phra Dhammachayo, abbot of Dhammakaya temple, and four other executives of the Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative after gaining substantial evidence to pursue legal action against them in court. The OAG named the first defendant in the case as Mr Supachai Srisupa-aksorn, who is now serving a jail term for embezzlement, channelled massive sums to the temple, its abbot Phra Dhammachayo, and related monks or foundations. Dhammachayo was named the second defendant. The third, fourth and fifth defendants are Ms Saranya Manmat, Mrs Thongpin Kunlom, and Ms Sasithorn Chokprasit. According to OAG, Supachai, Ms Saranya and Ms Thongpin face conspiracy in money laundering, and cooperation in money laundering. Supachai is now facing jail term at a prison for embezzlement, while Ms Saranya and Ms Thongpin are under the custody of the Department of Special Investigation. For Dhammachayo, and Ms Sasithorn, they are facing money laundering conspiracy, and reveiving ill-gotten gains. The OAG also asked the director-general of the DSI to bring Phra Dhammachayo to the office so that legal action could be pursued against him in the court within the time frame of the statue of limitations which specifies a period of 15 years. -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2016-11-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Now the small matter of locating him, arresting and having him appeari in court. I could be very wrong about this but I don't think the abbot or his followers will be in any rush to co-operate. Another long drawn out saga in the making ?

Eric Loh Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Not hopeful. Waiting for the next excuse not to arrest Dhammachayo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fixed, if there is a willingness to do so. An Army battalion or brigade to protect the DSI officers whose sole job is to arrest and transport away Dhammachayo. And no kowtowing either! And if Dhammachayo is innocent he should welcome his appearance in court to argue his case? His continued evasion smacks of some guilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never met him I have never seen him in person, yet when I see his photos I have this strange negative feeling, yes very negative feeling. I refrain from saying what these negative feelings are because it would be wrong to do so. What do these negative feelings mean? I wonder. I am not psychic or anything like that.

Justice does not exist in Thailand. You know that. Example: PM Prayut gives himself amnesty before he hands out money to rice farmers. Judging by the number of your posts you should know better than anyone about Thai justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retiredandhappyhere Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 They have decided to arrest him now, so they must be sure that he has flown the nest. They certainly allowed him enough time to do so and they will be SO surprised if they find that he has already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentrot Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 In a slightly tangential direction , is it just me who gets annoyed by all the acronyms that are used by the newspapers and government offices ? DSI (Dept. of Investigation) , KCUC (Klongchan Credit Union Corp) OAG (Office of Attorney General) just to name a few. Modern word processors will insert the full and intelligible word automatically so why use so much Babble that makes reading news more complicated than necessary? And on a lighter note ... here are some examples of further nonsensical fun in the same vein: A.D.I.D.A.S. = All Day I Dream About Soccer B.M.W. = Big Money Waster C.S.I. = Cannot Stop Investigating D.I.E.T. = Do I Eat Today? P.O.R.S.C.H.E. = Proof Of Rich Spoiled Children Having Everything S.T.R.E.S.S = Shit To Remember Every Single Second W.I.F.E. = Washing, Ironing, Feeding, Etc. source: http://www.jokes4us.com/peoplejokes/funnyacronyms.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranberry Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 You have no idea what is going on, so better to say nothing, presume this is a game of smoke and mirrors, consider any conspiracy beforehand and that real guilt may lie elsewhere.Sent from my ASUS_Z010D using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
